U.S. existing-home sales fell 3.6% month over month and 1.0% year over year to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 3.98 million, according to the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR), as tight supply and ongoing affordability challenges constrained activity. Sales declined month over month in all four regions. Year over year, sales increased in the South and West but fell in the Midwest and Northeast.

Nationally, the median existing-home price rose 1.4% from a year earlier to $408,800, marking the 33rd consecutive month of year-over-year price increases as limited inventory continued to put upward pressure on prices, NAR said. There were 1.36 million homes for sale heading into April, up 2.3% from a year earlier, representing a 4.1-month supply at the current sales pace.
