Contract signings fell nationwide, with the South and West seeing declines while the Northeast and Midwest barely held steady. Despite steady job growth, rising borrowing costs and stubbornly high prices are making homeownership unaffordable for many—especially first-time buyers. Meanwhile, median home prices hit a new record of $446,000, up 1.8% year-over-year for the 36th straight month. With mortgage rates climbing to a nine-month high since June, both buyers and sellers are pulling back, hinting at a potential slowdown in actual home sales in the coming months.
