June brought a stronger pace of home sales across the U.S., while inventory continued to rise at a measured rate, according to REMAX, Denver.

The firm’s National Housing Report said home sales rose 8.9% in June from May and 7.8% from June 2025. Active inventory also increased, rising 5.0% month over month and 2.5% year over year. At the same time, new listings dipped 1.9% from May but were 2.4% higher than one year earlier, pointing to a market with more movement but not a dramatic shift in supply.

“June’s housing data points to a market with stronger momentum but not a broad supply reset,” REMAX President Chris Lim said. “Sales picked up, inventory continued to expand and prices remained steady year over year.”

The report suggests that buyers and sellers were both active as summer got underway. The median sales price rose 2.4% from May (and 2.2% from last June) to $460,000. Buyers paid an average of 99% of asking price, the same as May and one year ago.

Inventory equaled 2.7 months, up from May but the same as in June 2025, “reinforcing that while options improved in some metros, the market remained competitive in many others,” the report said.

Additional market indicators include:

Average days on market rose to 43 days, one day longer than in May and two days longer than June 2025.

Median listing price of new listings was $465,000, down 2.1% from May and flat year over year.
