Lower mortgage rates are propelling a mini-boom in the U.S housing market. Existing-home sales climbed nearly 12% in February from the month before, according to the National Association of Realtors.
"If buyers were hesitant last year, this environment has lured them back into the housing market," says Michelle Meyer, a U.S. economist with Charlotte, N.C.-based Bank of America.
In the past 19 weeks since November, the rate on a 30-year mortgage dropped from 4.94% to 4.06%, the fastest decline since 2008. That’s a big deal for prospective homebuyers.
