U.S. existing home sales fell 5.4% month-over-month and 5.4% year-over-year to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 3.89 million units, with monthly sales down in all four regions, according to the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR). Higher mortgage rates, along with rising sales prices, have kept many prospective buyers on the sidelines, despite more home choices and less competition for those homes.
- Single Family Closed Sales were up 8.6 percent to 1,917.
- Townhouse-Condo Closed Sales were up 1.0 percent to 422.
- Adult Communities Closed Sales were up 3.9 percent to 53.
