January Home Sales Take a Hit: The Perfect Storm of High Prices and Mortgage Rates

January wasn’t a good month for home sales. High mortgage rates and stubbornly high home prices teamed up to drop pending sales by 4.6% from December, hitting a 25-year low, according to the National Association of Realtors. Despite a slight rise in home inventory, it seems the perfect storm of cold weather, affordability issues, and high rates kept buyers at bay, especially in the South, the region that’s been the most active in recent years. Even though the market shows some signs of life in the Northeast, it’s clear that unless rates dip or prices ease up significantly, the housing market’s chill might last a bit longer.

Target and Champion Team Up for Fashion Forward Finds

Target's back at it again with a fresh collaboration, this time teaming up with Champion to bring over 500 exclusive items to their shelves. Starting in August, expect a blend of athletic wear and stylish, comfy pieces like hoodies, bags, and accessories — all priced under $40. The line will even include a limited varsity-inspired collection for the trendsetters. As Target looks to boost its apparel sales, this partnership is a strategic move to attract shoppers seeking affordable, stylish options. While apparel sales have had a rocky road lately, Target is betting on new, on-trend pieces like this to keep customers coming back for more. It’s a win-win: Champion gets a new retail home, and Target gets to add some seriouslycozy, cool options to its offerings.
