Existing home sales dipped 5% in January but are up 2% year-over-year, with inventory at a tight 3.5 months, maintaining a seller's market. Prices are rising, up 4.8% to nearly $397,000. New home sales fell 10.5% in January, and inventory surged to 9.0 months, forcing builders to consider incentives.
