US Housing Market Faces Challenges as Homeownership Stalls =============== #fd4fc180 ver:0.87 The US housing market is facing challenges as high borrowing rates, a shortage of inventory, and surging home prices stall homeownership. The rate-lock effect is locking families out of buying their first homes, leading to a slowdown in the market.
