Even after falling, June’s median price hit the second-highest monthly median price on record going back to 1999, according to a National Association of Realtors report released Thursday.
The median existing home price was $410,200 last month, just 0.9% less than the all-time high from one year ago of $413,800.
It marked the fifth month of year-over-year drops in median home sale prices.
