Existing Home Sales Dip
The National Association of Realtors reported that the pace of existing home sales fell in April to an annualized rate of 5.04 million, a drop of 3.3% from the month earlier. Tight supply has resulted in high levels of price appreciation, which nationally amounted to an 8.9% increase from the year-ago period at a median price of $219,400. The increase in prices has undoubtedly caused a tempering effect on sales activity.
