U.S. existing home sales rose for the first time in a year in February as buyers rushed to take advantage of a decline in mortgage rates, according to a National Association of Realtors report released Tuesday.

Sales of previously owned homes climbed 14.5% in February from the prior month to an annual rate of 4.58 million units, snapping a 12-month losing streak. On an annual basis, existing home sales are still down 22.6% when compared with February 2022.
