“Strong home sales in June are good news for the real estate market across the region,” 2020 ABoR President Romeo Manzanilla said in the July 14 news release. “The increased sales last month helped limit the impact of the pandemic on the first half of the year overall.”
Manzanilla said July statistics look promising, but the ongoing pandemic continues to affect housing inventory.
“Increased pending sales signal a strong month of sales in July, but we have to remain cautious as Texas experiences a spike in COVID-19 cases and we are seeing shrinking housing inventory,” he said.
