Sales of previously owned homes in June fell 5.4% from May, according to a monthly report from the National Association of Realtors. Lawrence Yun, chief economist for the Realtors said the slide of home sales is due to “plunging affordability. We have never seen mortgage rates shoot up this fast at this magnitude. Even people who want to buy, they are priced out.”
There were 1.26 million homes for sales at the end of June. Inventory now stands at a three-month supply.
The median price of an existing home sold in June set yet another record at $416,000, an increase of 13.4% year over year. The average time a home spent on the market was 14 days. Mortgage applications fell to a 22-year low last week.
