Existing Home Sales Slowed By A Lack Of Listings

Brent Wells November 27, 2017

Infographic: existing home sales rose 2% monthly but fell 0.9% yearly; inventory was down 10.4%, with a 3.9-month supply.

Some Highlights:

  • The inventory of existing homes for sale has dropped year-over-year for the last 29 consecutive months and is now at a 3.9-month supply.
  • Existing home sales are currently at an annual pace of 5.48 million, the highest pace since June of this year, but down 0.9% from October 2016.
  • NAR’s Chief Economist, Lawrence Yun, had this to say: “While the housing market gained a little more momentum last month, sales are still below year ago levels because low inventory is limiting choices for prospective buyers and keeping price growth elevated.”
