The U.S. National Market

U.S. existing-home sales fell for the second month in a row, sliding 1.9% month-over-month and 1.9% year-over-year, according to the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR), with sales down in all four regions of the country. Higher borrowing costs and accelerating home prices continue to weigh on demand, pushing some prospective buyers to the sidelines and causing market activity to slump ahead of summer.

  • New listings increased 19.3 percent for Single Family homes and 40.0 percent for Townhouse-Condo homes.
  • Pending Sales increased 7.8 percent for Single Family homes and 39.6 percent for Townhouse-Condo homes.
  • Inventory increased 52.6 percent for Single Family homes and 77.2 percent for Townhouse-Condo homes.

Months’ Supply of Inventory Increases

Months’ Supply of Inventory increased 52.4 percent for Single Family homes and 68.4 percent for Townhouse-Condo homes.

Average Days on Market Increases
