WASHINGTON (MarketWatch)
Pending home sales slipped 1.4% in June, a trade
group said Thursday, continuing a slate of more cautious readings from the
housing sector
The pending-home-sales index fell to 99.3 from a downwardly
revised 100.7 in May, the National Association of Realtors said
The NAR
initially said the May index was at 101.1
"Buyer interest remains strong but
fewer home listings mean fewer contract signing opportunities," said Lawrence
Yun, chief economist of the NAR, who added that delays in the foreclosure
process also were holding up sales
Compared to the same period in 2011, pending
home sales were up 9.5%, marking the 14th straight month of year-on-year gains
A sale is listed as pending when the contract has been signed but the
transaction has not closed, and an index of 100 is equal to the average level of
contract activity during 2001
