Median home price hits all-time high in U.S.

The price of buying a home in America has reached a new record.

According to the National Association of Realtors, the median existing home price climbed to an all-time high of $440,600 in June.

That’s up nearly 2% from a year ago. At the same time, existing home sales fell 2.4% in the same month because of high mortgage rates and record home prices.

The average 30-year mortgage rate is currently near its highest level this year at almost 6.5%.
