The inventory of homes for sale totaled 31,605 in June, down 25.3% from 42,286 homes in the prior year. This was also the 44th consecutive month that the number of homes available has fallen in year-over-year comparisons.

The state’s median sales price of $426,001 represented a scant 0.2% uptick from $425,000 one year earlier.
