NAR: May Home Prices Drop as Sellers Fear a Double Dip

The median home sale price in May dipped 1.6% compared to April, down to $188,900, according to one real estate listing website.

According to the official website for the National Association of Realtors, May’s median price was about 2.1% below a year earlier when government tax incentives were still driving consumer demand. The drop in price could be attributable to seller uncertainty of a double-dip in home prices.
