US existing home sales reached 4.02 million units in April 2026, slightly below the consensus estimate of 4.05 million. This marks a modest increase from March’s reading of 4.01 million units. The latest figure continues a stable trend, with sales hovering near the 12-month rolling average of 4.07 million. The uptick was primarily driven by increased activity in the South and Midwest regions. Compared to April 2025, the market remains subdued amid elevated mortgage rates and affordability challenges. Investors are monitoring upcoming housing starts data and Federal Reserve communications for further direction. Updated 5/11/26
