The same figures showed a 0.6 percent decline from April a year earlier. The monthly drop follows a period in which prices had shown varying movements in prior months. The institute compiles the data from sales reported across the country. Median prices are influenced by the mix of properties sold in any given period as well as underlying market conditions.
On a year-over-year basis the 0.6 percent decline marks a modest softening. The institute has tracked median prices using seasonal adjustments to smooth out regular patterns in buying and selling activity. No further breakdown by region or property type was included in the initial release.
Market participants typically await additional data on sales volumes and inventory levels to assess broader trends.
