Redfin Report: U.S. Home Prices and Mortgage Payments Decline for Four Consecutive Weeks

U.S. home-sale prices have declined for the fourth consecutive week, with the median sale price falling to $388,613, a 0.9% decrease year-over-year. This downward trend in pricing, combined with dipping mortgage rates, has provided some relief to homebuyers despite pending sales remaining at their lowest levels since 2021. Monthly mortgage payments reached a six-week low of $2,755, supported by an average weekly mortgage rate of 7.18%.
