While home sales are still down 18.7% from last May, "solid demand amid tight inventory" is helping push home prices up slightly. Though the national median sales price is still down 1.9% from May 2022, it ticked up by 3.2% month over month to $423,000 this May, according to RE/MAX. That's up from the 2022 fall slowdown, when the median price was $399,000 in October, after three straight months of price declines.
