The growing pandemic caused Texas home sales to drop to the lowest level in eight years in May.

Sales of homes for May were down in Butler County and the Greater Cincinnati area, a trend that was anticipated due to the Ohio stay-at-home order.

Home sales plunged 70% in May in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic — the largest drop in the country, according to the Remax National Housing report.
