Today, the National Association of Realtors (NAR) released their Existing Home Sales Report for July showing continued weakness with slumping sales and an elevated monthly supply.
Single family home sales declined a notable 4.0% from June but rose notably compared to the level seen last year's post-tax scam weakness while the median selling price declined 4.5% below the level seen in July 2010.
Further, inventory of single family homes declined 5.4% from June and 8.6% below the level seen in July 2010 which, combined with the relatively slow pace of sales, resulted in an still elevated monthly supply of 8.9 months.
