Redfin (NASDAQ: RDFN) reports that U.S. homebuyers face record-high monthly housing payments of $2,807 in the four weeks ending March 23, marking a 5.3% year-over-year increase. This surge is attributed to:

1. Rising sale prices (median up 3% YoY)
2. High mortgage rates averaging 6.67%, though down from January's 7.04%

While pending home sales declined 4.6% year-over-year, market activity shows signs of improvement with increased mortgage applications and home tours. New listings rose significantly by 7.5% YoY, marking 2025's largest increase. Despite high costs, buyers are finding negotiating power in some markets, with opportunities to secure properties below asking price due to cautious market sentiment.

Redfin (NASDAQ: RDFN) riporta che gli acquirenti di case negli Stati Uniti affrontano pagamenti mensili record per l'abitazione pari a $2,807 nelle quattro settimane che si concludono il 23 marzo, segnando un aumento del 5,3% rispetto all'anno precedente. Questo aumento è attribuito a:

1. Aumenti dei prezzi di vendita (mediana in aumento del 3% rispetto all'anno precedente)
2. Tassi ipotecari elevati che mediamente si attestano al 6,67%, sebbene in calo rispetto al 7,04% di gennaio

Sebbene le vendite di case in attesa siano diminuite del 4,6% rispetto all'anno precedente, l'attività di mercato mostra segni di miglioramento con un aumento delle domande di mutuo e delle visite alle case. I nuovi annunci sono aumentati significativamente del 7,5% rispetto all'anno precedente, segnando il maggiore incremento del 2025. Nonostante i costi elevati, gli acquirenti stanno trovando potere di negoziazione in alcuni mercati, con opportunità di acquisire proprietà al di sotto del prezzo richiesto a causa del sentimento di mercato cauto.

1. Aumento de los precios de venta (mediana en aumento del 3% interanual)
2. Altas tasas hipotecarias que promedian el 6.67%, aunque han bajado del 7.04% de enero

A pesar de que las ventas de viviendas pendientes cayeron un 4.6% interanual, la actividad del mercado muestra signos de mejora con un aumento en las solicitudes de hipoteca y visitas a casas. Los nuevos listados aumentaron significativamente un 7.5% interanual, marcando el mayor incremento de 2025.

Redfin (NASDAQ: RDFN)는 미국의 주택 구매자들이 3월 23일로 끝나는 4주 동안 월 평균 주택 지불액이 $2,807로 사상 최고치를 기록했다고 보고하며, 이는 전년 대비 5.3% 증가한 수치입니다. 이 급증은 다음과 같은 이유로 설명됩니다:

1. 상승하는 판매 가격 (중위수 기준으로 전년 대비 3% 상승)
2. 평균 6.67%의 높은 모기지 금리, 하지만 1월의 7.04%에서 하락함

보류 중인 주택 판매는 전년 대비 4.6% 감소했지만, 시장 활동은 모기지 신청과 주택 투어의 증가로 개선 조짐을 보이고 있습니다. 새로운 매물은 전년 대비 7.5% 크게 증가하여 2025년 최대 증가폭을 기록했습니다. 높은 비용에도 불구하고, 구매자들은 일부 시장에서 협상력을 찾고 있으며, 조심스러운 시장 심리로 인해 요청 가격 이하로 부동산을 확보할 기회를 얻고 있습니다.

Redfin (NASDAQ: RDFN) rapporte que les acheteurs de maisons aux États-Unis font face à des paiements mensuels record pour le logement s'élevant à $2,807 au cours des quatre semaines se terminant le 23 mars, marquant une augmentation de 5,3% par rapport à l'année précédente. Cette hausse est attribuée à :

1. Augmentation des prix de vente (médiane en hausse de 3% par rapport à l'année précédente)
2. Taux hypothécaires élevés, avec une moyenne de 6,67%, bien qu'en baisse par rapport à 7,04% en janvier

Bien que les ventes de maisons en attente aient diminué de 4,6% par rapport à l'année précédente, l'activité sur le marché montre des signes d'amélioration avec une augmentation des demandes de prêts hypothécaires et des visites de maisons. Les nouvelles annonces ont considérablement augmenté de 7,5% par rapport à l'année précédente, marquant la plus forte augmentation de 2025. Malgré les coûts élevés, les acheteurs trouvent un pouvoir de négociation sur certains marchés, avec des opportunités d'acquérir des propriétés en dessous du prix demandé en raison d'un sentiment de marché prudent.

Redfin (NASDAQ: RDFN) berichtet, dass US-Hauskäufer mit rekordhohen monatlichen Wohnkosten von $2,807 in den vier Wochen bis zum 23. März konfrontiert sind, was einem Anstieg von 5,3% im Vergleich zum Vorjahr entspricht. Dieser Anstieg wird auf folgende Faktoren zurückgeführt:

1. Steigende Verkaufspreise (Median um 3% im Jahresvergleich gestiegen)
2. Hohe Hypothekenzinsen, die im Durchschnitt bei 6,67% liegen, obwohl sie von 7,04% im Januar gesunken sind

Obwohl die ausstehenden Hausverkäufe im Jahresvergleich um 4,6% zurückgegangen sind, zeigt die Marktaktivität Anzeichen einer Verbesserung mit einem Anstieg der Hypothekenanträge und Hausbesichtigungen. Die neuen Angebote stiegen im Jahresvergleich um 7,5% und markieren den größten Anstieg im Jahr 2025. Trotz der hohen Kosten finden Käufer in einigen Märkten Verhandlungsmacht und haben die Möglichkeit, Immobilien unter dem Angebotspreis zu sichern, aufgrund der vorsichtigen Marktentwicklung.

Positive
  • New listings increased 7.5% YoY, showing improved market supply
  • Mortgage rates decreased from January's 8-month high of 7.04%
  • Increased buyer activity with higher mortgage applications and home tours
Negative
  • Monthly housing payments hit record high of $2,807
  • Pending home sales declined 4.6% YoY
  • Median home sale prices increased 3% YoY
  • Mortgage rates remain elevated at 6.67%, more than double pandemic lows

The median monthly mortgage payment reached a record high this week, putting a lid on pending home sales. New listings, on the other hand, are improving.

SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- (NASDAQ: RDFN) — The typical U.S. homebuyer’s monthly housing payment hit an all-time high of $2,807 during the four weeks ending March 23, up 5.3% from a year earlier. That’s according to a new report from Redfin (redfin.com), the technology-powered real estate brokerage.

Housing costs are soaring for two reasons. One, sale prices keep rising; the median home-sale price is up 3% year over year. Two, the average weekly mortgage rate is 6.67%—more than double pandemic-era lows. But rates have dropped from an eight-month high of 7.04% in January; monthly payments would be even higher if not for the recent decline in rates.

High costs are putting a lid on home sales. Pending home sales are down 4.6% year over year, in line with the declines Redfin has seen over the last few months. But as spring begins, some house hunters are stepping off the sidelines, touring homes and applying for mortgages. Mortgage-purchase applications are at their highest level since the start of February on a seasonally adjusted basis, ShowingTime data signals that home tours are rising faster than they were last year, and Google searches of “homes for sale” are at their highest level since August.

Sellers are entering the market faster than buyers. New listings of homes for sale are up 7.5% year over year, the biggest increase so far in 2025. If new listings continue to rise and mortgage rates continue to decline, pending sales may improve in the coming months.

Redfin agents in many parts of the country say that even though costs are high, some buyers are able to negotiate in their favor.

“Buyers are cautious because they’re worried about the economy and potential layoffs, and they're wondering if mortgage rates will come down later this year. But because other buyers are cautious too, some house hunters are getting homes for under asking price,” said Kimberly Freutel, a Redfin Premier agent in Sammamish, WA. “If you love a home and you see yourself living there for at least four or five years, make an offer you’re comfortable with, even if it’s a little below list. Don’t assume it will escalate out of your price range, because the seller might actually take it. I’m asking my clients, ‘Would you be sad if this home ends up selling for less than asking price to someone else?’”
