The nation’s spring housing market appeared lackluster as April’s existing home sales showed little growth, according to the National Association of Realtors (NAR),

A May 11 Existing Home Sales report from NAR shows that sales of existing homes in April inched up by 0.2 percent from the previous month, to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.02 million.
