are the result of high mortgage rates.

According to government data, the median
sale price for a single-family home fell by
over $14,000 to reach around $400,000. .
Sales were spurred by a rise
in inventory, as 1.07 million
homes were available for sale
at the end of the month, Yelena Maleyev, senior economist for KPMG, via 'Newsweek'.
The rise in inventories was not
enough to offset the upward
pressure on existing home values;
the median sales price rose
to $384,500, the highest
since November 2023, Yelena Maleyev, senior economist for KPMG, via 'Newsweek'
