The number of existing homes that went under contract across the U.S. fell last month, a sign of choppiness in a housing market that otherwise appears to be gaining momentum. Pending home sales—which measure purchases before they become final—declined 2.3% to a seasonally adjusted reading of 106.8 in September, the National Association of Realtors said Thursday. That marked the second-lowest level of the year and the second consecutive monthly drop. Economists had predicted a 1% rise in September sales.
