US Existing Home Sales Drop Sharply Below Expectations

The United States' January existing home sales report, released on February 12, 2026, showed sales falling to 3.91 million units, significantly below both the consensus estimate of 4.2 million and December’s figure of 4.27 million, according to the National Association of Realtors. This marks a notable slowdown in the housing market, as the latest reading represents the steepest monthly decline in recent months and underscores persistent challenges from high mortgage rates and affordability issues. The weaker-than-expected data signals ongoing headwinds for the US real estate sector, raising concerns about the pace of economic recovery and consumer confidence as the spring selling season approaches.
