Residents grapple with limited options as rent and home prices continue to rise.

Existing-home sales retreat, prices keep rising

Existing-home sales are sliding amid record-high prices.
In August, existing home sales in the U.S. experienced a decline, dropping by 0.7% from July to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.04 million, according to the National Association of Realtors. This figure represents a 15.3% decrease compared to August of the previous year, marking the slowest sales pace since January 2023. High mortgage rates, which have been above 7% since early August, have significantly impacted affordability, deterring potential buyers. The median existing-home price for the month was $407,100, a slight increase of 3.9% from the previous year. Regionally, sales decreased in the Northeast and Midwest but saw slight increases in the South and West. Despite the sales slump, the inventory of unsold existing homes rose by 14.1% from the previous August, totaling 1.1 million homes at the end of August, which represents a 3.3-month supply at the current sales pace.
