Pending home sales rose in April 2026, signaling steady buyer activity despite economic uncertainty and slightly higher mortgage rates. According to the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR), pending home sales increased 1.4% from March and were up 3.2% compared to April 2025.
NAR Chief Economist Dr. Lawrence Yun said buyers remain cautiously optimistic and noted that demand would likely strengthen further if mortgage rates decline. He also warned that limited housing inventory continues to push home prices higher, potentially outpacing wage growth and making homeownership less affordable. Yun emphasized the need to increase housing supply to improve affordability and market balance.
This encouraging uptick in pending home sales reflects continued resilience in the housing market and highlights the strong underlying demand for homeownership as buyers adapt to changing market conditions.
