Existing home sales in the US rose 1.5% month over month to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 3.99 million units in September 2026, ending three consecutive months of declines. Sales increased in the South and West, remained unchanged in the Midwest, and fell in the Northeast. NAR Chief Economist Lawrence Yun noted that August and September were the slowest months for sales this year, as rising mortgage rates continued to limit buyer affordability. Meanwhile, higher inventory and longer time on the market are giving buyers greater negotiating power, prompting sellers to consider price cuts and other incentives. source: National Association of Realtors
