It has eased from a six-month high of 7.22% in early May amid signals from the Federal Reserve that it will deliver a long-awaited interest rate cut in September.

At July's sales pace, it would take 4.0 months to exhaust the current inventory of existing homes. That was up from 3.3 months a year ago.
