Existing-home sales in the U.S. increased by 1.5% month-over-month in September but declined 2.2% compared to the previous year, according to the National Association of Realtors. Sales rose in the South and West regions but fell in the Northeast and remained steady in the Midwest. Despite the monthly gain, sales in August and September were the slowest this year, impacted by rising mortgage rates that limit buyer qualification. Inventory increased slightly, giving buyers more negotiating power, but sellers may need to offer price discounts or incentives. The median home price rose 1.3% year-over-year to $417,500, marking the 39th consecutive month of price increases. Mortgage rates averaged 6.86% in September, up from 6.67% in August, further challenging affordability for buyers.
