Existing home sales over the first four months of 2026 were the lowest since 2009.

In April, 4.02 million existing houses were sold on an annualized basis according to the NAR’s data.

This figure was below last year’s and the lowest level since April 2009. (in the midst of the Great Financial Recession).

Buyers continue to exit the U.S. Housing Market because they don’t want to pay today’s sky-high prices, or can’t afford to.

Making this the 4th straight year of recession-level home sales.

The pending sales figures in April/May suggest we might finally see a bump next month, but it’s hard to think of that as more than a dead-cat bounce given how bad the first four months of the year were.

Lower prices are the only way buyers will come back.
