pending home sales index

Fueled by positive job growth and an increase in available housing, the National Association of Realtors' Pending Home Sales Index rose 1.6% in February, according to data released Thursday

November's numbers show pending sales didn't move compared to October, but lower rates did apparently lead to more lockbox openings — hinting that better days lie ahead

Pending sales fell 1.5% month over month in October to a reading of 71.4, the lowest score recorded since the Pending Home Sales Index began publishing in 2001

Pending home sales dipped for the 5th straight month in March, with the Pending Home Sales Index dropping 1.2% from February to 103.7, according to the National Association of Realtors

The number of homes that went pending in January, a leading indicator of future sales, fell 9.5% year over year, according to data released Friday by the National Association of Realtors

Slowed contract signings in September are a likely sign that home price growth will soon come back down to earth, NAR Chief Economist Lawrence Yun said

Pending home sales dropped 1.9% in June, and 1.9% year over year to an index of 112.8, according to the National Association of Realtors' Pending Home Sales Index

Pending sales numbers are one of the most ubiquitous forms of data in real estate. They have their limits, but are also key to making sense of the housing business

Pending-home sales also declined on an annual basis for the first time in 8 consecutive months, according to the National Association of Realtors

The Pending Home Sales Index declined 2.8% from the previous month to 122.8, but was up 13% from the year before and marked an all-time high for January

Despite continuing monthly declines, the Pending Home Sales Index (PHSI) hit an all-time high for the month of December at 125.5
