For Week Ending July 13, 2019

Every year during the week of Independence Day, real estate markets across the country slow down as buyers, sellers and real estate professionals take some time off during the height of summer to spend time with friends and family. This year continued that tradition, except that new listings declined a little more and pending sales rose a little more. This is of particular interest because that is the exact dynamic that will keep prices on the rise.

• New Listings increased 0.5% to 2,227
