Pending Home Sales are in an upward trend
Uptrend Continues in Pending Home Sales
Washington, August 04, 2009
Pending home sales are up for the fifth consecutive month, the first time in six years for such a streak, according to the National Association of Realtors®.
The Pending Home Sales Index,1 a forward-looking indicator based on contracts signed in June, rose 3.6 percent to 94.6 from an upwardly revised reading of 91.3 in May, and is 6.7 percent above June 2008 when it was 88.7. The last time there were five consecutive monthly gains was in July 2003.
Lawrence Yun, NAR chief economist, said a combination of positive market factors is fueling the gains. “Historically low mortgage interest rates, affordable home prices and large selection are encouraging buyers who’ve been on the sidelines. Activity has been consistently much stronger for lower priced homes,” he said. “Because it may take as long as two months to close on a home after signing a contract, first-time buyers must act fairly soon to take advantage of the $8,000 tax credit because they must close on the sale by November 30.”
Existing Home Sales Rise
The National Association of Realtors reports existing home sales rise: “We are seeing positive numbers on reported contracts and closings over the previous months but we still have a long way to go when you compare year over year.” Stated Rick Knight, President of ERA Knight Realty. “We are still seeing some pricing declines but hopefully we are coming to a bottom. As the inventory decreases the prices will stable.”
Existing-Home Sales Up Again
Washington, July 23, 2009
