I'm also in real estate, in So. Calif. Regional markets move differently from one another. Here, in my small area of expertise, homes for sale as of 7/1 increased 39% from same on 6/1, however, closed sales were about the same for June and July.
Any national reporting service will have figures that are at least one month old. I do my own calculations using local data, so have them immediately at end-of-month.
I'm definitely "feeling" a slowdown in housing here in L.A. Don't know if that helps.
