Pending home sales across the U.S. fell 5.4% in June, according to the latest data from the National Association of Realtors. This decline follows a period of growth in May and brings the national index to 72.5.

💡 Five Town Homes & Living — With Nassau’s median home price hovering near $850,000, a 5.4% drop in contract activity suggests that local buyers are increasingly sensitive to the monthly debt-service costs created by current mortgage rates. For a typical Nassau property, a 6.8% interest rate on a 30-year fixed mortgage now pushes monthly principal and interest payments toward $4,500, forcing many buyers to re-evaluate their maximum purchase price or wait for more inventory to hit the market. Sellers should note that this cooling activity means pricing your home accurately based on recent neighborhood comps is more critical than ever to avoid extended days on market. We are your advocates, not just your agents.
