Existing-home sales declined in June, but have remained well above year-ago levels for the past two years. Also, the median price shows seven straight months of double-digit, year-over-year increases, according to the National Association of REALTORS®.
Total existing-home sales, which are completed transactions that include single-family homes, townhomes, condominiums and co-ops, dipped 1.2 percent to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 5.08 million in June from a downwardly revised 5.14 million in May, but are 15.2 percent higher than the 4.41 million-unit level in June 2012.“Inventory conditions will continue to broadly favor sellers and contribute to above-normal price growth,” Yun predicted. The national median existing-home price for all housing types was $214,200 in June, up 13.5 percent from June 2012. This marks 16 consecutive months of year-over-year price increases, which last occurred from February 2005 to May 2006. Watch the video to learn more...
