More than half of all homes are selling for less than their asking price, as buyers gain leverage in a weaker housing market, according to a new report.

In May, total home sales dropped 15% compared to last year, while the national median list price stayed steady at $495,000 and mortgage rates hovered near 7%, according to a new analysis by real estate analytics firm Cotality.

With fewer buyers in the market, sellers are starting to lower prices, 56% of homes sold below their asking price in May, the report revealed.

“Savvy buyers are now in a market that is primed for negotiations on price reduction, closing cost assistance, and mortgage rate buydowns,” says Cotality senior economist Daniel Boswell. “However, the tilt toward a buyers’ market is only a bright spot for those who have the means to make a move. For many, systemic hurdles such as interest rates and rising insurance costs remain a barrier to homeownership.”

President Donald Trump's administration is gearing up to sell stock in government-backed mortgage giants Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae within months, according to a report on Friday.

The initial public offering could net the Trump administration roughly $30 billion, reported the Wall Street Journal, citing people familiar with the matter.

The plan could see both companies valued at $500 billion or more combined and entail selling between 5% and 15% of their stock.

Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, whose mission is to buy mortgages from lenders and bundle them into securities for investors to boost the availability of funds for home loans, have been under government conservatorship for more than 15 years, ever since they had to be bailed out with taxpayer dollars to avoid collapse during the financial crisis of 2008.

As part of this arrangement, both companies have been subjected to strict oversight and regulation by the Federal Housing Finance Agency.
