By the Numbers: US pending home sales plunge in December
Pending home sales in the U.S. last month fell to their lowest level in at least more than a decade.
Residential deals tend to drop in the winter months, but the past few Decembers have been particularly lackluster, according to data from Redfin. But December 2025’s total fell about 6.5 percent year over year, with only 329,000 deals entering contract — the lowest since at least 2012, the earliest of Redfin’s data.
