US August existing home sales data

US August existing home sales
  • Prior was 5.86m

This is the highest reading since 2006. Some of the jump is certainly a give-back from the halt on activity in the spring but all indications are that sales will remain robust for many months to come.

Comment from the NAR in the report:

"Home sales continue to amaze, and there are plenty of buyers in the pipeline ready to enter the market"
