Pending Home Sales Up Again!

Pending Home Sales rose for the 5th straight month nationally according to the National Association of Realtors. "The Pending Home Sales Index, a forward-looking indicator based on contracts signed in June, rose 3.6 percent to 94.6 from an upwardly revised reading of 91.3 in May, and is 6.7 percent above June 2008 when it was 88.7. The last time there were five consecutive monthly gains was in July 2003," NAR reports.

Locally, as we reported earlier, Basking Ridge Homes for Sale going Under Contract in June had their best month since July of '07, with 51 units marked as Pending (click here for the previous post.) Unfortunately, July was a slower month than we would have liked to see, but a still respectable 32 Basking Ridge Homes for Sale went under contract. Higher interest rates in July helped dampen activity, we will see how August shapes up, now that rates have eased a bit.
