Existing Home Sales During September 2024

Existing Home Sales report for September 2024 was released by The National Association of Realtors® (NAR®) this morning:

======================

Previous Month: 3,880,000

  • Actual: 3,840,000

From Today's Report:

"...'Home sales have been essentially stuck at around a four-million-unit pace for the past 12 months, but factors usually associated with higher home sales are developing,' said NAR Chief Economist Lawrence Yun. 'There are more inventory choices for consumers, lower mortgage rates  than a year ago and continued job additions to the economy. Perhaps, some consumers are hesitating about moving forward with a major expenditure like purchasing a home before the upcoming election.'

'More inventory is certainly good news for home buyers as it gives consumers more properties to view before making a decision,” Yun said. 'However, the inventory of distressed properties is minimal because the 
mortgage delinquency rate remains very low. Distressed property sales accounted for only 2% of all transactions in September.'..."
