Further analysis on home sales is now on the Times website.

The key points:

• Yes, sales are up from May, but last year there was also a seasonal bump. May sales were up from April, then slipped in June before rising again in July.

• Home sales are on pace to match 2008, which was the worst sales year in 10 years.
