Housing market alarm: “Can’t sell my house” searches break 2008 record, home sales hit lowest level since 2010

People are searching Google for “how to sell my house” at levels reportedly higher than during the 2008 crash. The latest housing numbers aren’t reassuring. Existing-home sales fell 5.5% in October, down 8.8% from a year ago. Just 3.75 million homes sold at an annual rate, the lowest since 2010.

Redfin says sellers outnumber buyers by 70.5%, a record in its data going back to 2013. More than 60% of homes sold below their original asking price. Buyers are backing off, sellers are cutting prices, and plenty of owners are finding out that the price they think their house is worth isn’t what someone will pay.
