Pending Home Sales Up 1.1% in May<\/h2>\n

Pending home sales increased in May, a positive variation from the minor sales dip seen in the previous month, according to the National Association of Realtors\u00ae. Three of the four major regions saw growth in contract activity, with the West experiencing a slight sales decline.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The Pending Home Sales Index,* www.nar.realtor\/pending-home-sales<\/a>, a forward-looking indicator based on contract signings, climbed 1.1% to 105.4 in May, up from 104.3 in April. Year-over-year contract signings declined 0.7%, marking the 17th straight month of annual decreases.<\/p>\n

Lawrence Yun, NAR chief economist, said lower-than-usual mortgage rates have led to the increase in pending sales<\/a> for May. \u201cRates of 4% and, in some cases even lower, create extremely attractive conditions for consumers. Buyers, for good reason, are anxious to purchase and lock in at these rates.\u201d<\/p>\n

Yun said consumer confidence about home buying has risen, and he expects more activity in the coming months. \u201cThe Federal Reserve may cut interest rates one more time this year, but there is no guarantee mortgage rates will fall from these already historically low points,\u201d he said. \u201cJob creation and a rise in inventory will nonetheless drive more buyers to enter the market.\u201d<\/p>\n

Citing the hottest housing markets from data at realtor.com\u00ae<\/a>, Yun says the year-over-year increases could be a sign of a rise in inventory. Rochester, N.Y., Fort Wayne, Ind., Lafayette-West Lafayette, Ind., Boston-Cambridge-Newton, Mass., and Midland, Texas, were the hottest housing markets in May.<\/p>\n

Yun said that while contract signings and mortgage applications have increased, there is still a great need for more inventory. \u201cHome builders have not ramped up construction to the extent that is needed,\u201d he said. \u201cHomes are selling swiftly, and more construction will help keep home prices manageable and thereby allow more middle-class families to attain ownership opportunities.\u201d<\/p>\n
