Despite the fact that pending home sales saw a 0.7 percent drop in November and the current government shutdown, National Association of Realtors® chief economist, Lawrence Yun believes that there are good longer-term prospects for home sales. He states: “Home sales in 2018 look to close out the year with 5.3 million home sales, which would be similar to that experienced in the year 2000.
