Buy contracts rose Houses <\/a><\/strong>Existing-home sales in the United States rose more than markets had expected in November, continuing their positive trend for the fourth consecutive month. A report released by the National Association of Realtors showed that the Pending Home Sales Index\u2014which is based on signed contracts\u2014 rose by 2.2% to 79, the highest level since February 2023, compared to 77.3 in October.<\/p>\n

The performance exceeded market expectations, which had pointed to an increase of only 0.9%, after the contracts had risen by 1.8% in October.<\/p>\n

Year-over-year and regional improvement in sales<\/span><\/h4>\n

On an annual basis, sales jumped Houses<\/a> <\/strong>Pending at a rate of 6.9%. Three major regions\u2014the Midwest, the South, and the West\u2014saw monthly increases in purchase contracts, while sales declined in the Northeast. However, all four regions posted significant year-over-year gains.<\/p>\n

The Impact of Improved Housing Inventory<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

The rise in purchase contracts in November coincided with an increase in existing-home sales for the second consecutive month. According to a previous report by the National Association of Realtors, the inventory of homes for sale rose by 18% compared with the same period a year earlier.<\/p>\n

Buyers' Response to High Mortgage Rates<\/span><\/h4>\n

Lawrence Yoon, chief economist at the National Association of Realtors, stated that consumers have begun to adjust their expectations regarding mortgage rates, taking advantage of the greater number of options available in the market. Yoon noted that average mortgage rates have exceeded 6% over the past two years, prompting buyers to negotiate more flexibly as the market has shifted from a seller\u2019s market to a balanced market.<\/p>\n

Interest Rates and Their Impact on the Market<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

Despite interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve since September, the interest rate on 30-year fixed-rate mortgages has risen to 6.85%, its highest level since July. This comes amid a rise in 10-year U.S. Treasury yields of about one percentage point since September, driven by investor concerns about the president-elect\u2019s economic policies.<\/p>\n

As mortgage rates continue to rise and housing inventory improves, the U.S. housing market appears to be moving toward greater stability, supported by buyers\u2019 ability to adapt to economic changes.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
