JUST IN: U.S. homebuyer demand fell to its lowest level on record.
There are now 500,000 more home sellers than buyers in America.
967,000 buyers were in the market in July, compared with 1.46 million sellers.
Nearly 80% of major U.S. metros are now buyer’s markets.
Plenty of homes are for sale. Millions of Americans just can’t afford them.
