According to the report, a lack of new listings despite it being one of the busiest times of the year for home shopping helped push total inventory 22% below the previous year. The limited inventory has kept pressure on the prices with the median list price up 7.8% year over year.

Nationally, the report showed a dip in newly pending sales and new listings. Despite pending home sales often seeing a dip during summer holidays, both metrics have remained up for May, according to the report.
