US Housing Market Sees a Surprise Surge

New home sales in the US experienced an unexpected 20.5% jump in August, marking the fastest pace in three years.

This surge was largely driven by significant price cuts and incentives offered by builders struggling with inventory.

Lower mortgage rates, anticipated before an interest rate cut, also contributed to this increased buying activity.

Despite this positive development, economists remain cautious, suggesting that this might be a temporary upswing in a still-weak market.
