Home Prices Hit All-Time High

July 8, 2024 Kyle G. Horst

According to a brief report from Redfin News, pending home sales posted their biggest decline since February in June of this year—good news for prospective buyers as there are more new listings to choose from, and monthly housing payments are down around $100 from their peak in April due to declining, but still relatively high, mortgage rates. 

While Redfin did not post an in-depth analysis of this news this news cycle, they did still report the latest housing market data via charts and graphs.
