U.S. existing-home sales climbed 5.1% month-over-month and 1.4% year-over-year to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.35 million units, the strongest pace in nearly three years, according to the National Association of REALTORS� (NAR). Lower mortgage rates and slower home price growth helped spur buyer activity, and sales increased month-over-month in every region.
