UPDATE: Existing-home sales increased 3.1% to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 5.00 million units in July, according to the National Association of Realtors. This was higher than the analyst consensus of a 4.91 million unit rate.
The national median existing-home price for all housing types was $212,400 in July, down 7.1 percent from a year ago when the median was $228,600.
Total housing inventory at the end of July rose 3.9 percent to 4.67 million existing homes available for sale, which represents an 11.2.-month supply at the current sales pace, up from a 11.1-month supply in June. The rise in supply results from a sharp increase in condo inventory; the single family supply declined.
