United States Pending Home Sales MoM

US pending home sales rose by 1.9% from the previous month in October of 2025, gaining traction from the revised 0.1% increase in the previous month and well above the preliminary estimate of a 0.5% gain. The increase was consistent in all areas of the country, including the Midwest (5.3%), Northeast (2.3%), South (1.4%), and West (1.5%). "The Midwest shined above other regions due to better affordability, while contract signings retreated in the more expensive West region," said NAR Chief Economist Lawrence Yun. "Days on the market typically lengthen from November through February, providing better negotiating power to buyers during the holiday season. Job gains in September, following the data blackout, are reassuring and suggest the economy is not slipping into a recession. This may boost confidence in future homebuying."
