Mortgage applications to buy a home dropped 5% last week and are down for the last five weeks… so don’t hold your breath for any material improvement any time soon.
The Northeast was the only region to see a rise (+2.1% MoM) in pending home sales with sales in The West dropping the most (-3.9% MoM).
Pending-homes sales tend to be a leading indicator for previously owned homes, as houses typically go under contract a month or two before they’re sold.
