U.S. pending home sales decline much more than anticipated in February

The National Association of Realtors (NAR) announced on Wednesday its seasonally adjusted pending home sales index (PHSI) tumbled 10.6 percent m-o-m to 110.3 in February, after a revised 2.4 percent m-o-m drop in January (originally a 2.8 percent m-o-m decrease).

Economists had expected pending home sales to decline 3.5 percent m-o-m in February.

On y-o-y basis, the index fell 0.5 percent after a revised 13.5 percent surge in January (originally a 13.0 percent m-o-m climb). This marked the first decrease since May 2020.

According to the report, all four regional indices recorded month-over-month decreases in February but were mixed year-over-year. The Northeast PHSI plunged 9.2 percent m-o-m to 92.3 in February, a 3.9 percent drop from a year ago. The PHSI for the Midwest declined 9.5 percent to 102.4 last month, down 6.1 percent from February 2020. Pending home sales in the South shrank 13.0 percent to an index of 133.2 in February, up 2.9 percent from February 2020. The index in the West went down 7.4 percent in February to 96.9, up 1.9 percent from a year prior.

"The demand for a home purchase is widespread, multiple offers are prevalent, and days-on-market are swift but contracts are not clicking due to record-low inventory," said Lawrence Yun, NAR's chief economist. "Only the upper-end market is experiencing more activity because of reasonable supply. Demand, interestingly, does not yet appear to be impacted by recent modest rises in mortgage rates."

Upozorenje o rizicima

Izvršenje trgovinskih operacija sa finansijskim instrumentima upotrebom marginalne trgovine pruža velike mogućnosti i omogućava investitorima ostvarivanje visokih prihoda. Međutim, takav vid trgovine povezan je sa potencijalno visokim nivoom rizika od gubitka sredstava. Проведение торговых операций на финанcовых рынках c маржинальными финанcовыми инcтрументами открывает широкие возможноcти, и позволяет инвеcторам, готовым пойти на риcк, получать выcокую прибыль, но при этом неcет в cебе потенциально выcокий уровень риcка получения убытков. Iz tog razloga je pre započinjanja trgovine potrebno odlučiti o izboru odgovarajuće investicione strategije, uzimajući u obzir raspoložive resurse.
