Even though mortgage rates are sitting near their lowest level in a year, house hunters are spooked by stubbornly high home prices and jitters about a possible recession and the government shutdown.\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

New listings of U.S. homes for sale rose 4.1% year over year during the four weeks ending October 12, the biggest increase in over four months.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

More sellers are entering the market because they\u2019re hoping lower mortgage rates and a small improvement in affordability will attract buyers. The weekly average mortgage rate is <\/span>6.3%<\/span><\/a>, just shy of its lowest level in a year.<\/span><\/p>\n

Buyers Stay in the Shadows, Spooked By Financial Jitters and Rising Prices<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

Pending home sales are moving in the opposite direction, falling 1.2% year over year, the biggest decline in over five months. Homes are also taking a long time to sell, with the typical home sitting on the market for 48 days before going under contract, a week longer than last year.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Many buyers are still sitting on the sidelines due to stubbornly high sale prices and economic uncertainty. The median home-sale price is up 1.9% year over year, the second-biggest increase in six months, keeping payments elevated even though they\u2019re down from their all-time high. Pair that with widespread financial unease amid the <\/span>government shutdown<\/span><\/a>, concerns about <\/span>tariffs<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>recession jitters<\/span><\/a>, and many Americans are opting against making the biggest purchase of their life.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cBuyers are hesitant because of concerns about job security and high mortgage rates,\u201d said Jo Chavez<\/a>, a Redfin Premier agent in Kansas City, MO<\/a>. \u201cEven though rates have come down from their peak, a lot of people are waiting for sub-6% rates before they buy. And in Kansas City, where there are tens of thousands of government jobs, furloughs and potential layoffs are hitting hard. One client who works for the federal government started house hunting two years ago, then paused when he was furloughed last year. He had just started looking again, but now he\u2019s not sure if he\u2019s going to buy because his job is uncertain; he may be relocated out of state.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Washington, D.C. Pending Sales Are Falling More Than They Are Nationwide<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the Washington, D.C.<\/a> metro area, home to <\/span>hundreds of thousands<\/span><\/a> of federal employees, homebuying demand is taking a hit as workers worry about their jobs. The U.S. government <\/span>partially shut down<\/span><\/a> on October 1 after lawmakers were unable to agree on a budget, leading to pay suspension for roughly 2 million federal workers nationwide, some furloughed and some expected to work without compensation for the time being. The White House started <\/span>laying off<\/span><\/a> federal workers last week.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Though federal workers are spread throughout the country, the lion\u2019s share are in D.C. and surrounding parts of Maryland and Virginia. Pending home sales in D.C. are down 6.7% year over year, and the typical home is taking 43 days to go under contract\u2013nine days longer than last year.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

On the flip side, new listings are <\/span>up<\/span><\/i> 9.8% year over year, the third-biggest increase of the 50 most populous U.S. metros, as some locals try to offload their homes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
