June Home Sales Slow As Market Shift Continues

Sales of previously owned homes slowed in June, according to new numbers from the National Association of Realtors. Existing-home sales slipped 5.4 percent from the month before and were also down 5.4 percent from year-before levels. But despite slower sales, Lawrence Yun, NAR's chief economist, says the market is improving for buyers. “We're seeing a slow shift from a seller's market to a buyer's market,” Yun said. “Homes are sitting on the market a bit longer, and sellers are receiving fewer offers. More buyers are insisting on home inspections and appraisals, and inventory is definitively rising on a national basis.” The market is becoming better balanced and that's good for buyers. The inventory of existing homes is now at a 4.1-month supply at the current sales pace – the highest level in more than four years and nearing the number needed for the market to be considered balanced.
