Pending home sales rise 2.1 percent in February from January
An index that tracks signed contracts to purchase previously occupied homes rose in February from a record low a month earlier as buyers took advantage of deeply discounted prices and low interest rates.
The National Association of Realtors said today said its seasonally adjusted index of pending sales for previously occupied homes rose 2.1 percent — in line with expectations — to 82.1 in February from January's record low of 80.4.
Typically there is a one- to two-month lag between a contract and a done deal, so the index is a barometer for future home sales.
Because of falling home prices and mortgage rates, homeownership is more affordable than it's been since at least 1970, the trade group said.
