Sales of existing homes in the U.S. fell last month to their lowest level in more than 16 years. That's according to a new report by the National Association of Realtors. In October alone, sales dropped to 3.75 million homes, an 8.8% drop compared with the same time last year. Stephanie Sy reports on what's driving the decline.
