Existing Home Sales (March 2024)
After hitting their highest level in a year in February, sales of existing homes slipped 4.3% in March. However, sales are still at their second highest level since last May as NAR’s Chief Economist, Lawrence Yun, confirmed they’re “rebounding from cyclical lows.” The rise in first-time buyers and multiple offers also suggests demand remains ahead of the spring buying season even in the face of elevated mortgage rates.
