US existing home sales fell 3.6% in March 2026 to 3.98 million units, missing median forecast of 4.05 million.
Decline attributed to lagged adverse weather effects, with regional drops led by an 8.5% fall in the Northeast, its lowest ever.
Median existing‑home price rose 0.4% month‑over‑month, up 1.4% year‑over‑year, while months’ supply hit 4.5, the highest since April 2016.
Goldman Sachs kept its Q1 GDP estimate at 2.8% annualised and noted weaker consumer confidence and softer job growth dampening demand.
