Lawrence Yun, NAR’s chief economist, said he is not overly concerned about the 0.4% dip in sales and expects at least moderate growth very soon.
April 2019 brought 5.19 million in sales, a median sales price of $267,300, and 4.2 months of inventory. The median sales price is up 3.6% year over year, and inventory is up 0.2% from April 2018.
This report is a key indicator of housing market strength based on a monthly survey sent to over 50,000 real estate practitioners.
