The data released Tuesday show 130,000 sales in the 11-state
region in May. The median home price increased more than 2 percent,
to $150,700.

      Midwest sales again rose more than the national ones.
Nonseasonally adjusted figures show May home sales nationwide
increased about 18 percent over last year.

      The Associated Press-Re/Max Monthly Housing Report, which also
was released Tuesday, showed home sales increasing in all but one
of 12 major Midwestern cities tracked. Fargo, N.D., led the region
with a 66 percent sales jump. Detroit reported the only sales
decrease, a 15 percent drop.
