Sales of existing homes—which make up most real estate transactions in the U.S.—fell by one percent to an annual rate of 3.84 million in September, the National Association of Realtors said Wednesday.
Economists had forecast a stronger 3.9 million sales figure for the month. Sales fell by about 2.5 percent in the prior month.
