Existing-home sales were on the upswing in February, according to a National Association of Realtors report published on Thursday. The sale of existing single-family homes, townhomes, condominiums and co-ops declined 3.3 percent year-over-year from 4.53 million in February 2023 to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.38 million. Although sales failed to break out of an annual slump, they rose 9.5 percent from January — marking the most significant monthly gain in a year.
