View Date:2024-12-23 19:48:58
Good morning and Happy Friday! This is Betty Lin-Fisher with Friday's consumer-focused The Daily Money.
The housing market is beginning to show some glimmers of hope amid some grim reports.
First, the bad news: Sales of previously-owned homes only gained 1.3% in July, according to the National Association of Realtors. Also, mortgage rates, while down slightly compared to last week, are still higher than most home loans held by nearly all Americans.
But there's some positive news, according to my new colleague and USA TODAY housing reporter Andrea Riquier.
Amazon will have another Prime Day in October
