The U.S. median sales price for existing homes surged to an all-time high of $440,600 in June. The Northeast reported the biggest year-over-year gain in the nation, up 2.7 percent to $564,800. The Midwest followed with a year- over-year price gain of 2. 7 percent, bringing its median home cost to $346,600. Even in the South, prices increased 0.9 percent in June compared to a year earlier, climbing to $377,700.
The Community Development Block Grant Disaster Recovery program has provided more than $100 billion to disaster areas over the last few decades. The program operates on an ad hoc basis, without permanent congressional approval, so most of its disaster grants take more than half a decade to execute and arrive too late to make a difference. Last month, Congress passed a major bipartisan housing bill with an endorsement from President Donald Trump. The bill's primary focus is on building more homes in areas that are suffering from housing shortages, but it also contains a provision that will turn HUD’s sporadic disaster aid into a permanent program.
