United States Pending Home Sales MoM

Pending home sales in the United States jumped by 4% from the previous month in August of 2025, the sharpest increase in five months and rebounding from the 0.4% decrease in the previous month to fully erase back-to-back declines. Pending sales were higher in the West (5%), Midwest (8.7%), South (3.1%), and Northeast (1.1%). "Lower mortgage rates are enabling more home buyers to go under contract," said NAR Chief Economist Lawrence Yun. "In the Midwest, low mortgage rates combined with high levels of affordability are attracting more buyers compared to other regions." From the previous year, pending home sales rose by 3.8%.
