“Unsurprisingly, July’s median price surpassed all records for that month,” said Timothy Warren, CEO of The Warren Group. “Though substantially less than last month’s all-time high of $395,000, July’s price shows the same trend of an upward trajectory. Despite a low inventory of homes for sale, the market keeps climbing.”
