U.S. house prices rose 7.7 percent in the year through June, extending a recovery that’s spurring more homeowners to list their properties for sale.

Prices climbed 0.7 percent on a seasonally adjusted basis from May, the Federal Housing Finance Agency said today in a report from Washington. The average economist estimate was for a 0.6 percent gain, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
