Despite last month’s decline, June’s sales pace is 0.7% above a year ago, but is the second lowest of 2017 (February, 5.47 million). We are still on pace for either the most sales ever in the U.S. The median price for an existing-home in June was up 6.5% from June 2016. June marked the 64th straight month of year-over-year price gains. Total housing inventory at the end of June declined 7.1% from last June’s level. The number of homes for sale has fallen year-over-year for 25 consecutive months. Unsold inventory is at a 4.3-month supply at the current sales pace, which is down from 4.6 months a year ago. 

New home sales rise in June – The Commerce Department reported that sales of new homes rose 0.8% in June from May’s sales levels. Year over year new home sales are a staggering 9.1% higher than the number of new home sales last June. New home sales in the west increased 12.5% to the highest number of new home sales since July 2007. 

Have a great weekend!
