AGNT CEO Says US Existing — Home Sales Could Fall Below 4 Million in 2027

AGNT CEO Leo Pareja sees U.S. existing-home sales potentially falling below 4 million in 2027 for the first time since 1995. Pareja described the market collapse as a transaction-volume downturn already underway since 2023, with annual sales hovering around 4 million. Mortgage rates could reach 8% before falling to 5%, limiting prospects for a sales recovery. A broad price crash remains unlikely in Pareja’s outlook; the national median existing-home price reached $429,100, up 1.6% year over year. Inventory growth slowed to 5.9% in 2026 from 28.9% in 2025, while life events should continue driving home sales.
