Episode: Housing's Slowest Summer in a Decade
Description: The July housing market slowed to its weakest pace in years, with homes taking a median of 43 days to go under contract—the longest July stretch since 2015. Pending sales dropped to a two-year low, while sellers pulled back, leading to fewer new listings and shrinking supply. Prices still ticked higher, up 1.4% year over year, even as competition cooled and cancellations rose to record July levels. We’ll break down the national picture, plus metro-level data showing where homes are sitting longest, where prices are rising fastest, and what shifting supply means for buyers and sellers heading into late summer.
