Contracts to purchase previously owned U.S. homes unexpectedly shot
?to the highest in nearly three years in November, as improving
affordability conditions drew in buyers, according to the National
Association of Realtors.
Pending home sales rose 3.3% last month after ?an upwardly revised
2.4% gain in October, the ?NAR said Monday. Economists polled by
Reuters had forecast contracts, which become sales after a ?month or
two, rising 1.0%.
Pending home sales rose 2.6% from a year earlier.
The index tracking sales rose to ?its highest level since February
2023.
Homebuyer momentum is building. The data shows the strongest
performance of the year after accounting for seasonal factors, ?and
the best performance in nearly three years, dating back to ?February
2023," said Lawrence Yun, the NAR's chief economist.
Improving housing affordability - driven by lower mortgage rates and
wage growth rising faster than home prices - is helping buyers test
the market," Yun ?said. "More inventory choices compared to ?last year
are ?also attracting more buyers to the market.
