June home sales drop to the slowest pace in 14 years as short supply chokes the market
(Worthy News) – Sales of pre-owned homes dropped 3.3% in June compared with May, running at a seasonally adjusted annualized rate of 4.16 million units, according to the National Association of Realtors.
Compared with June of last year, sales were 18.9% lower. That is the slowest sales pace for June since 2009.
The continued weakness in the housing market is not for lack of demand. It’s all about a critical shortage of supply. There were just 1.08 million homes for sale at the end of June, 13.6% less than June of 2022. At the current sales pace, that represents a 3.1-month supply. A six-month supply is considered balanced between buyer and seller. [ Source: CNBC (Read More…) ]
