After eight months of gains, pending home sales dipped into negative territory on a yearly basis, a clear response to higher borrowing costs dampening buyer momentum. Contract signings softened as well, and the average home lingered on the market for 60 days. Notably, mortgage rates climbed from around 6% in late Q1 to the high-6% range, shifting the landscape for both buyers and sellers.<\/p>\n<p>Buyers found new leverage as the median list price slipped to $424,500, price reductions appeared in about 20% of listings, and delistings dropped year-over-year. Active inventory grew by roughly 4%, yet national supply still remains about 11% below typical pre-pandemic levels\u2014highlighting the persistent shortage beneath current buyer caution.<\/p>\n<p>Industry leaders and market strategists (myself included) are watching seller delistings, pricing adjustments, and whether regional gaps continue to close as everyone adapts to this new cost environment. For those looking to position their asset or navigate pricing strategy, it\u2019s a season for market precision and disciplined negotiation.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>September\u2019s housing market offered three telling signals for those tracking the path ahead.
