U.S. Pending Home Sales Rise 9.6% Year Over Year to Highest Since September 2022

The increase in pending home sales points to improving economic confidence, though the update notes stronger housing activity could complicate the Federal Reserve’s efforts to control inflation.

Fact Check
All core figures in the claim are confirmed by the BusinessWire/Redfin primary source and corroborated by the @KobeissiLetter X post and Yahoo Finance. Pending home sales of 346,104, a 9.6% year-over-year gain, and the designation as the highest level since September 2022 are all verified. The claim that gains were recorded 'across nearly all major U.S. metropolitan areas' is accurate (all metros except Houston, Detroit, and Seattle showed gains). The only discrepancy is the event_time year in the task metadata (2025 vs. the actual 2026), which is a metadata labeling error and does not affect the factual accuracy of the claim's stated figures.
