The slowdown followed a 5.1% increase the previous month and modest gains throughout the fall. Sales retreated month-overmonth and year-over year in all four regions.

Nationally, the median existing-home price inched up 0.9% year-over-year to $396,800, a new high for the month, NAR reported. Home prices have continued to rise across much of the country, in part due to low supply, which remains below pre-pandemic levels.
