U.S. Home Prices Hit a Record High, Sales Fell in June (WSJ. 20250723)
U.S. home sales in June fell to a nine-month low, as Home prices hit a record high. The National Association of Realtors said today that the national median existing home price in June rose to $435,300, a record in data going back to 1999, and a 2% increase from a year earlier. Prices aren't adjusted for inflation. High prices, along with fizzling spring sales signal that a housing market recovery is unlikely this year.

Google's Senior Director of Competition, Oliver Bethel, said in a blog post that today's announcement is disappointing and unwarranted. Apple also criticized the CMA's plans saying, asking it to change how its iPhones work could scupper its own security provisions.
