Sales of homes in the US are likely to stay level over the coming months, with little change in sales activity expected, a new report predicts.
US organisation the National Association of Realtors (NAR) claims that sales levels should benefit from a modest increase towards the end of the year however.
It predicts that a total of 6.04 million homes will be sold over the course of this year, with a total of 6.38 million real estate transactions forecast to go through in 2008. Both these figures are less than the 6.48 million sales registered in 2006.
"Existing-home sales should be relatively stable over the next few months, holding in a modest range, with some pent-up demand growing from buyers who've been on the sidelines," NAR senior economist Lawrence Yun said.
He went on to add that a downturn in sales would ultimately support the market, as it would lead to less construction. This in turn would lower relative levels of housing stock, a factor which would push future price appreciation, he said.
