December Pending Home Sales Fall 9.3% Amid Tight Inventory

December 2025 pending-home-sales fell 9.3% from November and 3.0% year over year, with declines in all regions (Northeast -11.0% MoM, Midwest -14.9%, South -4.0%, West -13.3%); the South showed a YoY gain of 2.0% while other regions were down. Inventory remained tight at about 1.18 million homes—the lowest level of 2025—despite rising closing activity. NAR Chief Economist Lawrence Yun cautions that seasonality and scarce listings may have dampened demand in the short term, though several metro areas still posted notable YoY gains per Realtor.com Economics.

Intel: OEMs stockpiling RAM buys laptop market time against RAMageddon

Intel says its laptop OEM partners are holding about 9–12 months of memory inventory, creating a buffer that could blunt near-term RAM price hikes. The long memory lead times push vendors to stockpile ahead of future releases, while Intel also cites Core Ultra Series 3 memory enhancements (larger L3 cache and new memory-management tools) that may reduce RAM demand. It’s not a full fix for RAMageddon, but it offers several months of relief for buyers and manufacturers.

December home sales jump as inventory stays tight at year’s end

December’s seasonally adjusted annualized sales rate rose to 4.35 million, up 5.1% from November and 1.4% year over year, with the full year totaling 4.06 million (unchanged from 2024). Inventory fell to 1.18 million (about 3.3 months’ supply), helping the median price rise 0.4% to $405,400—the 30th straight annual gain. December was the strongest in nearly three years after seasonal adjustment, aided by mortgage rates hovering around 6.2–6.3% during closings. Analysts note Q4 improvement amid easing rates and expect more listings to come in February.
