December existing home sales, according to the National Association of Realtors, fell -3.6% from the previous month. This was worse than the expected -1.9% decline.
But on a positive note, existing home sales ROSE 1.1% on a Year-over-year (YoY) basis.
The bad news? The inventory of existing home sales fell to its lowest level EVER.
The median price of existing home sales rose 5.8% YoY.
