For all homes sold in May, the Median Sales Price was
$212,910. This was 4.4% higher than the Median Sales
Price in April, and 7.8% higher than the price in May 2014.
On a year-over-year basis, the Median Sales Price has now
risen for 40 consecutive months. Continuing price
appreciation is the result of pressure from a constrained
inventory, which has been an average of 11% lower than
the same time last year over the past seven months.
Among the 53 metro areas surveyed, 50 reported higher
prices than one year ago, with 12 rising by
double-digit percentages.
