Fun Fact 2:
Fewer US existing homes are selling today than at any point since 2010. The 3.78 million annual rate from December was even below the lowest level of sales during the 2020 covid shutdowns (4.01 million). The 4.09 million existing homes sold during 2023 was the lowest activity we’ve seen since 1995.
