Pending home sales in the U.S. dropped to their lowest level since 2014, excluding the 2020 pandemic freeze, due to mortgage rates climbing above 7%. This rise in rates has priced out many potential buyers, leading to a 14.5% deal cancellation rate—the highest on record outside the pandemic period. Home supply has increased to its highest since March 2020, giving buyers more negotiating power and causing sellers to lower prices or offer incentives. While prices are still rising slightly, the momentum is slowing, signaling potential price stabilization or declines ahead.
