Economists estimate that pending home sales rose 0.9% month-on-month in June, unchanged from May, and rose 11.1% year-over-year versus 8.3% prior.

The jump in May was the highest level of pending home sales in nine years.

Last Wednesday, data from the NAR showed that existing home sales rose 3.2% to an annualized pace of 5.49 million - the fastest since February 2007.

In a note previewing the data this week, Bank of America Merrill Lynch economists wrote: "We expect pending home sales will increase 1.0% in June, which would mark the sixth consecutive gain. A broad range of indicators have shown continued gains in homebuyer activity, with mortgage purchase applications higher and NAHB homebuilder sentiment improving."
