Association of REALTORS® (NAR). Economists polled by Reuters had forecast a rate of 3.92 million units. Regionally, sales increased on a monthly basis in the West,
South, and Northeast, but declined in the Midwest.
Nationally, 1.55 million units were listed for sale heading into August, up 0.6% from the previous month and 15.7% higher than the same time last year, representing a
4.6-month supply at the current sales pace, according to NAR. Inventory is now at its highest level since May 2020, a shift that has helped slow price growth in many
