SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- (NASDAQ: RDFN) 鈥� U.S. home prices edged down 0.1% in May on a seasonally adjusted basis, according to a new report from Redfin (redfin.com), the technology-powered real estate brokerage. Home prices have only posted a month-over-month decline three other times in records dating back to 2012: April 2025, and August-September 2022鈥攚hen mortgage rates were peaking.

Home prices rose 3.6% on a year-over-year basis in May, down from 4.1% growth in April. It was the first time annual price growth has been below 4% since July 2023.

This is according to the Redfin Home Price Index (RHPI), which uses the repeat-sales pricing method to calculate seasonally adjusted changes in prices of single-family homes. The RHPI measures sale prices of homes that sold during a given period, and how those prices have changed since the last time those same homes sold.

The homebuying market is cooling because sellers buyers. Less than (31.2%) of homes that sold in May went for over their asking price, the lowest May share in five years. At the same time, pending sales are ticking down and inventory is still rising.

鈥淪ellers are starting to feel pressure because many buyers have put their home search on pause in response to high housing costs, elevated mortgage rates and economic uncertainty,鈥� said Redfin Senior Economist Sheharyar Bokhari. 鈥淢ore sellers are likely to adjust their price expectations in the coming months as they see examples of the market shifting in favor of buyers, like homes selling below asking prices. Still, home price trends are always local and some areas鈥攑articularly on the East Coast鈥攃ontinue to see strong growth.鈥�
