    Pending home sales fall as housing demand weakens (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Pending home sales are sending a clearer warning about housing demand. Nationally, new pending sales fell to 59,316 for the week ending Sept. 25, down 4.8% from the prior week and 9% from a year ago. At the same time, 42.5% of active listings had taken a price cut, up from 41.6% a year ago. Inventory is moving more slowly. Active inventory increased to 895,398 homes, up 3.8% year over year, while the national median days on market held at 70 days. As HousingWire Lead Analyst Logan Mohtashami not

    New listings outpace pending home sales as inventory rises (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Last week’s Housing Market Spotlight focused on what to watch before changes show up in active inventory. Instead of starting with what has already accumulated, look at the flow of homes coming onto the market and whether pending sales are keeping pace with that new supply. This week, that relationship changed enough to pay attention. For every 100 new single-family listings that came to market nationally during the week ending Sept. 18, 86 went under contract. That’s down from 96 the week befor

    Housing market data to watch as mortgage rates top 7% (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Mortgage rates crossed 7% this week, adding another affordability challenge for a housing market already navigating uneven buyer demand. As Logan Mohtashami explains in his latest mortgage rate analysis, the question now is how buyers respond. It will take time for that response to show up in housing market data. And this week’s numbers won’t give us a clean answer. Labor Day fell on Sept. 7 this year versus Sept. 1 last year, which distorts a direct year-over-year comparison for the week ending

    Housing market signals reveal local supply and demand shifts (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    St. Louis looks, at first glance, like a market where buyers are absorbing new supply quickly. Over the past 11 weeks, new pending sales have outpaced new listings every week. In the latest data, there were 896 new pendings against 659 new listings, or roughly 136 homes going under contract for every 100 newly listed. At the same time, active inventory has grown from 4,855 to 5,549, an increase of 14.4%. Those two signals might seem contradictory, but together they tell us something important ab

    How local housing market signals reveal changing conditions (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    The national housing market didn’t move much this week. Active inventory rose to 879,764 homes, up 2.2% from a year ago, while the share of listings with a price cut reached 42.1%, roughly even with last year. New pending sales totaled 65,036, compared with 65,701 during the same week in 2025. That relative stability is also the takeaway from HousingWire lead analyst Logan Mohtashami’s latest Housing Market Tracker. Mortgage rates near 6.81% continue to weigh on demand, but new listings remain a
