Madrid (EFE).- The purchase and sale of homes fell again in March by 5.7% in the interannual rate, with which this indicator has already accumulated two consecutive months in negative in a context marked by the rise in interest rates to curb inflation and the consequent increase in the cost of financing.
Despite this fall, compared to the previous month (February) the sale of homes increased by more than 11%, according to statistics published this Thursday by the National Institute of Statistics (INE).
With these data, so far this year housing transactions have recorded a decrease of 2.1%.
