US September Existing Home Sales Rise to 3.99 Million
Newsquawk ·
US existing home sales for September reached 3.99 million units, surpassing the market consensus of 3.95 million and coming in above the prior figure of 3.93 million. The national median price for these properties stood at USD 417,500, marking a 1.3 percent increase compared to the same period last year. Total housing inventory was recorded at 1.6 million units, translating to 4.8 months of supply. In corporate news, the CEO of Goldman Sachs stated that there is currently no formal succession transition or timeline in place at the firm. Because existing home sales reflect closed contracts from previous months, they serve as a lagging indicator, historically triggering only muted and short-lived reactions in currency and rate markets. Analysts noted that inventory levels edging downward while median prices rise indicate persistent supply constraints rather than surging demand.

US existing home sales for September came in at 3.99M, beating both the expected 3.95M and the previous month's 3.93M. The national median home price rose 1.3% year-over-year to $417,500, with housing inventory at 1.6 million units, representing a 4.8-month supply. This indicates that supply shortages are supporting price floors despite sluggish trading activity caused by high mortgage rates.
하락 영향
- Real Estate — Persistent high mortgage rates continue to suppress housing turnover, and ongoing shortages of listed homes are deepening trading stagnation and market rigidity.
DYAX 전담 분석
The slight rebound in this existing home sales indicator is attributed to a low base effect, and due to its lagging indicator nature, its impact on market interest rates and the US dollar is limited. However, the inventory reduced to a 4.8-month supply and the higher median price compared to the previous year suggest that supply constraints persist, increasing the structural rigidity of the housing market.
Going forward, the direction of the housing market will be determined by fluctuations in mortgage rates and upcoming new home sales and pending sales indicators. Investors should closely monitor the earnings of construction companies driven by persistent housing supply shortages and the volatility of the residential real estate sector based on rate cut expectations.
