After eight months of upward momentum, pending home sales dipped slightly year-over-year, reflecting how elevated borrowing costs are tempering buyer activity. Contract signings softened, homes are now taking about 60 days to sell, and mortgage rates have increased from approximately 6% in late Q1 to the high-6% range.<\/p>\n<p>Yet, for well-prepared buyers, opportunity is emerging: the median list price has eased to $424,500, price cuts now appear on around 20% of listings, delistings have dropped compared to last year, and active inventory is up about 4%.
