While more inventory is welcome news for buyers, pending national home sales dipped by 1.1% to a six-month low, as elevated housing costs have kept some on the sidelines. The median sale price across the US is now up 1.9% year-over-year, surpassing $400K, with average mortgage rates hovering near 7%, close to a 13-month high.
