Home resales fell an estimated two per cent from May to June — the third monthly decline in a row. Still, resales are holding up at what would have been considered solid levels before the pandemic. “June’s modest pullback may have more to do with fewer sellers entering the market than buyers shying away,” said Robert Hogue, RBC assistant chief economist, in his monthly market report.
