Pending Home Sales Resist New Home Sales Surge

US DATA
  • Pending home sales were softer than expected in May, falling -2.7% M/M (cons -0.5) after -0.4% (initial 0.0%).
  • It marks the third consecutive decline after some tentative lifting of sales at the turn of the year.
  • The softer trend implies existing home sales are unlikely in the next couple months to show the same lurch higher as in Tuesday’s new home sales data, taking them back above pre-pandemic levels compared to pending home sales which are ~25% lower.
