US home sales flat in April as lackluster spring homebuying season lurches forward

National Association of Realtors data show sales stayed near a 4 million pace as the median home price rose to a record April high of $417,700.

  • Existing Home Sales rose 0.2% last month to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.02 million units, the National Association of Realtors said Monday, though the market showed a lackluster performance.
  • FactSet economists expected a pace of roughly 4.12 million units, but the latest sales figure fell short as the housing market continues struggling with sluggish activity through early 2026.
  • The median sales price increased 0.9% in April from a year earlier to $417,700, marking an all-time high for April on records dating back to 1999.
  • Home prices have risen on an annual basis for 34 consecutive months, yet sales have hovered near a 4 million annual pace since 2023, far short of the historic norm of 5.2 million.
  • Sales remained sluggish through the first three months of this year, declining from a year earlier and showing no change compared to April last year following sustained market weakness since 2022.
