一 | LOS ANGELES -- Sales of previously occupied U.S. homes fell for the fourth month in a row in September, held back by surging mortgage rates and a thin supply of properties on the market.Existing home sales fell 2% last month from August to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 3.96 million, the National Association of Realtors said Thursday. That’s just above the 3.9 million unit pace that economists were expecting, according to FactSet.Sales sank 15.4% compared with the same month last year and are down 21% through the first nine months of the year versus the same period in 2022.Despite the housing market slump, home prices kept climbing versus a year ago. The national median sales price rose 2.8% from September last year to $394,300. It slipped 3.1% from August.“Clearly, the story of limited inventory and rising and rising mortgage rates continues to hinder the home sales market,” said Lawrence Yun, the NAR’s chief economist.The weekly average rate on a 30-year mortgage moved above 7% in August, when many of the home sales that were finalized in September would have gone under contract. It has remained above that threshold since, surging last week to 7.57%, the highest level since 2000, according to mortgage buyer Freddie Mac.High rates can add hundreds of dollars a month in costs for borrowers, limiting how much they can afford in a market already out of reach for many Americans. They also discourage homeowners who locked in rock-bottom rates two years ago from selling.While surging mortgage rates have shut out many prospective buyers, a chronic shortage of homes for sale continues to keep the market competitive, especially for the most affordable homes.Homes sold last month typically within just 21 days after hitting the market, and about 26% of homes sold for more than their list price, the NAR said.All told, there were 1.13 million homes on the market by the end of last month, up 2.7% from August, but down 8.1% from September last year, the NAR said. That amounts to just a 3.4-month supply, going by the current sales pace. In a more balanced market between buyers and sellers, there is a 4- to 5-month supply.。 2026F1荷兰大奖赛结束后,围绕Alpine车手弗兰科·科拉平托的判罚争议持续发酵。国际汽联(FIA)表示,遭到网络攻击的赛事干事可能将寻求法律保护。 事实上,科拉平托与小红牛车手阿尔维德·林德布拉德,均因在双黄旗路段超车而被处以通过维修区的处罚。比赛首圈末段,马克斯·维斯塔潘在最后一个弯角发生事故,现场随即出示双黄旗。科拉平托在赞德沃特最后一个弯驶出时完成对角田裕毅的超越,林德布拉德则在冲过终点线前超过皮埃尔·加斯利。 对此,科拉平托认为判罚“过于严厉”,但干事指出,考虑到赛道上大量碎片造成的特殊情况,已经将原本应执行的10秒罚时处分予以从轻处理。 随后,科拉平托的赞助商Mercado Libre高管公开质疑干事的执法能力与诚信,引发社交媒体上的进一步攻击,甚至出现针对FIA干事的威胁言论。Alpine方面则表示,虽然认为判罚严厉,但认可处罚符合规则,且对所有车手一视同仁。 而FIA旗下的“反网络暴力联盟”随后发表声明,强调对判罚存在异议属于竞技体育的一部分,但绝不应演变为人身攻击或威胁。目前,FIA正探索可能的法律途径。
