US home prices have reached a new high, while sales of existing homes have slowed. According to the National Association of Realtors, sales fell 2.4% in June compared to the previous month.

This decline comes as mortgage rates have been trending higher, contributing to sluggish sales. The current pace of home sales is around 4 million units per year, which is below the historic norm.

Further details on the current state of the US housing market are available from the National Association of Realtors and other sources, including the full report on June's sales figures.
