Questions & Concerns:
In November 2023, pending home sales in the United States remained unchanged compared to October, according to the National Association of REALTORS®. While the Northeast, Midwest, and West regions experienced monthly gains in transactions, the South recorded a decline. Year-over-year, all four U.S. regions showed decreases in transactions.
The Pending Home Sales Index (PHSI), a forward-looking indicator based on contract signings, stayed at 71.6 in November, reflecting a 5.2% year-over-year decline. A value of 100 equals the contract activity level in 2001.
Lawrence Yun, NAR chief economist, noted that despite declining mortgage rates not leading to more formal contracts in November, there was an increase in interest, as seen in higher lockbox openings.
