Redfin Reports Monthly Mortgage Payments Fall to Lowest Level in 6 Weeks as Home Prices Keep Dipping
Pending home sales held steady from a week earlier as prices and mortgage rates fell–but rates have since ticked back up
SEATTLE, Nov. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- U.S. home-sale prices fell for the fourth week in a row, according to a new report from Redfin, the real estate brokerage powered by Rocket.
U.S. housing market takeaways for the four weeks ending Nov. 8:
- Home-sale prices continue to drop. The median home-sale price was $388,613, down 0.9% year over year. That's four straight weeks of declines after three years of increases, handing homebuyers a bit of relief on top of what they're getting from dipping rates.
- Monthly housing payments dropped to a 6-week low. The median monthly mortgage payment was $2,755 at a 7.18% mortgage rate, the weekly average. This data is seasonally adjusted. Payments are down from $2,820 a month earlier.
- Homebuying activity held steady. Pending home sales were essentially flat (-0.1%) from a week earlier, though they remain at the lowest level in records dating back to 2021. Dipping mortgage rates likely held off a bigger decline in pending sales. Daily average rates declined to a 6-week low of 7.17% last week, but have since ticked back up after a hot inflation report.
- Overall supply held steady, too. Active listings were flat from a week earlier, while new listings slipped 1.3%. Buyers still have plenty of options; there are about 600,000 more home sellers than buyers in the U.S. Condo buyers have especially strong negotiating power; condo sellers outnumber buyers more than 2 to 1.
