Connecticut sales of single-family and condominium homes both rose in June, with median sale prices mixed, a survey says.
House sales rose 5.8 percent last month from a year earlier, to 2,799 units, according to The Warren Group.
Condo sales jumped sharply in June by 14.1 percent from a year earlier, to 760 units, the publisher of the Commercial Record said.
Year-over-year home prices fell 3.2 percent in June. The median sales price of a single-family home statewide decreased to $276,000 in June, down from $285,000 in June 2013..
The median selling price for condos in June was $180,000, up 2.9 percent from $175,000 a year earlier.
“The housing market in Connecticut is showing signs of improvement as we see the biggest percentage gain in monthly home sales so far this year,” said The Warren Group CEO Timothy M. Warren Jr. “Real estate closings in June, July and August are typically the highest of the year as the deals made during the spring selling season get officially recorded. While not robust, the Connecticut real estate market continues to show a solid recovery.”
