The Intense Home Sales Market Appears to Be Slowing

While the market may be decelerating, sales are up 29% from 2020.

The housing market may be finally slowing down, according to new data from Redfin.

Redfin is reporting a four-week decline in pending sales and a drop in its demand index, which is down 12% from its late-March peak. Still, pending home sales were up 29% year over year. But seasonally adjusted pending sales are down 9.7% from their peak four weeks ago, which Redfin attributes to people opting to pause their home search and take advantage of the holiday weekend.
