In September 2024, existing-home sales fell month-over-month and year-over-year in the South, Midwest, and Northeast, while sales in the West grew.

According to NAR Chief Economist Lawrence Yun, "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. There are more inventory choices for consumers, lower mortgage rates than a year ago and continued job additions to the economy."

The Existing-Home Sales data measures sales and prices of existing single-family homes for the nation overall, and gives breakdowns for the West, Midwest, South, and Northeast regions of the country. These figures include condos and co-ops, in addition to single-family homes.

Existing-Home Sales for October 2024 will be released on Thursday, November 21, 2024 at 10:00 a.m. Eastern.
