Und selbst bei den Hauspreisen ist der Boden da, denn gegenüber April stieg der Durchschnittpreis von 166.000 auf 173.000 Dollar.
Existing home sales rose 2.4 percent in May; prices plunge 16.8 percent
WASHINGTON (AP) -- A real estate group says sales of previously occupied homes rose modestly from April to May, the third monthly increase this year, but signs of any housing recovery are fragile at best.
The National Association of Realtors said Tuesday that home sales rose 2.4 percent to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.77 million last month, from a downwardly revised pace of 4.66 million in April.
Prices, meanwhile, dropped by 16.8 percent from a year ago.
The results missed economists' expectations. Sales had been expected to rise to an annual pace of 4.81 million units, according to Thomson Reuters.
The median sales price plunged to $173,000 from $207,900 in the same month last year, but up from $166,600 in April.
