Pending sales represent homes that have a signed contract to purchase on them but have yet to close. They tend to lead Existing Home Sales data by 1 to 2 months.

All of the four regions showed declines from a year ago. The South had the largest dip of 9.5% followed by the Northeast with a drop in contract signings of 9.2%. The West fell 8.4% followed by the Midwest with the smallest decline of 4.8%.

The U.S. pending home sales index level for the month was 103.7.

March’s contract signings bring the pending index above the 100-level mark for the 22nd-consecutive month.
