The median price of Palm Beach County, Fla., houses sold by Realtors last month was $355,013, up 1.4% from July 2018, but a bit below May's high point of $364,900.

Sales of previously owned homes increased in July to a five-month high, underscoring stability in the residential real estate market that may be starting to get a boost from falling borrowing costs.

Albuquerque, N.M., home prices dipped slightly last month, but still maintained their torrid rate of growth over the past year.

The spring home buying market — traditionally the strongest of the year — didn't do much to boost overall home sale prices in greater Hartford this year.

While talks of an impending recession pick up steam, the housing market remains fairly stalwart and won't be to blame this time around, according to Zillow.

Sentiment among homebuilders rose in August to match its 2019 high as mortgage rates tumbled, though a weaker outlook signaled concern that any gains will be temporary as investors fret about an economic downturn.
