Existing Home Sales Experience First Year-Over-Year Increase Since October 2013

by | Nov 20, 2014

(c) Can Stock Photo(Jeff Sorg, OnlineEd) – The National Association of REALTORS today is reporting that existing home sales rose in October for the second straight month and are now above year-over-year levels for the first time in a year.

Lawrence Yun, NAR Chief Economist, says the housing market this year has been a tale of two halves. “Sales activity in October reached its highest annual pace of the year as buyers continue to be encouraged by interest rates at lows not seen since last summer, improving levels of inventory and stabilizing price growth,” he said. “Furthermore, the job market has shown continued strength in the past six months. This bodes well for solid demand to close out the year and the likelihood of additional months of year-over-year sales increases.”
