To give you a real estate market update, after the records that were set for pendings in Dec and January, pendings decreased 10.6% in Feb and all of the four major regions in the US experienced a month-over-month drop in pending home sales, led by the South with a 13% decrease. However, when compared to one year ago, the dip in pendings was less pronounced b/c pendings were down only 0.5% compared to Feb 2020. The reason for the month to month decrease is most likely due to record low housing inventory but rising interest rates may also play a role.

HOWEVER, it was a whopping 39% higher than the same week one year ago.
