The National Association of Realtors said Wednesday that sales of existing homes climbed 3.2 percent last month to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 5.49 million, the highest rate since February 2007. Sales have jumped 9.6 percent over the past 12 months, while the number of listings has risen just 0.4 percent.
The median home price has climbed 6.5 percent over the past 12 months to $236,400, the highest level — unadjusted for inflation — reported by the Realtors.
The Greater Chattanooga Association of Realtors said Wednesday median home prices last month rose locally to $155,000, up 5.8 percent from a year ago. In the first half of 2015, local Realtors sold 7,494 homes or 6.7 percent more than a year ago.
