The Pending Home Sales Month on Month indicator reflects the number of home sales contracts signed in the given month as compared to the previous one. The calculation includes signed contracts for the sale of existing single-family houses, apartments, condos and cooperatives.

The report is published by the US National Association of Realtors. The detailed version features both absolute number of units sold and evaluation in monetary terms (average sales prices by geographic regions). Data are provided for four geographical regions: Northeast, Midwest, South and West. The indicator is seasonally adjusted.

Since a contract completion takes an average of 6 to 8 weeks, Pending Home Sales is a leading indicator of the US housing market, which provides a two-month early estimation. The indicator allows forecasting the value of another important index, Housing Starts. The indicator characterizes the strength of the housing market and its aggregate demand. It also enables an indirect medium-term prediction for the sales dynamics of related products, such as housing insurance or household goods.

Indicator growth can have a positive effect on USD quotes.
