- Contract closings fell 5.4% in June, more than forecast
- Median selling price rose to a fresh record of $416,000
Sales of previously owned US homes fell in June to a two-year low as a surge in borrowing costs continues to erode affordability.
Contract closings fell 5.4% from May to an annualized 5.12 million, figures from the National Association of Realtors showed Wednesday. The median estimate called for 5.35 million in a Bloomberg survey of economists.
