NAR: Pending-home sales slide for sixth month in a row in November

best bienes realtor Pending-home sales fell more than expected in November, marking the sixth monthly decline in a row, the National Association of REALTORS® reported, citing its Pending Home Sales Index, which fell 4% from October and 37.8% from November 2021.             Pending sales, in which the contract has been signed but the transaction has not closed, are considered a leading indicator and generally precede existing-home sales by a month or two.          “Pending home sales recorded the second-lowest monthly reading in 20 years as interest rates, which climbed at one of the fastest paces on record this year, drastically cut into the number of contract signings to buy a home,” NAR Chief Economist Lawrence Yun said in a press release. “Falling home sales and construction have hurt broader economic activity.”  Regionally, the pending-sales index fell 7.9% month over month in the Northeast, 6.6% in the Midwest, 2.3% in the South and 0.9% in the West.   First American depu...
