NAR to Release September Pending Home Sales Oct. 20 at 10 a.m. ET

The National Association of Realtors will release September 2026 pending home sales at 10 a.m. Eastern on Tuesday, October 20, 2026. Pending means signed contracts, not closed deals, so it previews coming closings. I view it as a demand check for borrowers and savers, not a cue to act.
