By the Numbers: Home sales closed in June at higher prices amid mixed market signals

Even in the face of climbing inflation, rising energy prices and geopolitical conflict, buyers and sellers are adapting to economic uncertainty as more home sales crossed the finish line in June and the median sale price hit a record high. 

The median home price had a slight 2.2 percent uptick year over year in June, a similar growth rate to the month before, to reach $408,776, according to data from Redfin. Some 22 percent of homes traded above their original listing price, also about the same share as the year before.
