Based on signed contracts, pending home sales dropped 0.80% month-on-month in June, taking a bite out of May's 1.8% increase. On an annualised basis, pending home sales decreased 2.8%.

NAR chief economist Lawrence Yun said: "The data shows a continuation of small declines in contract signings despite inventory in the market increasing. Pending sales in the Northeast increased incrementally even though home price growth in the region has been the strongest in the country."
