A newly built single-family home that is sold is seen in San Marcos, California, January 30, 2013.
The measure of the housing market was projected by economists to grow 1.0% in September from the month before.
In August, the pending sales of single family homes, condos, and co-ops fell 2.4%, $4 than the expected flat reading.
After the report for August, the NAR said the slowing number of homes under contract showed the "housing recovery could stall."
