Economists expect that sales rose 0.8% month-on-month to an annualized rate of 5.23 million, according to Bloomberg.

In March, existing home sales rose 6.1% to an annualized rate of 5.19 million - the fastest pace of growth in 18 months.

Existing home sales include completed transactions on single-family homes, townhomes, condominiums, and co-ops.

Ahead of the release, Wells Fargo economists wrote: "Supply constraints pose a threat to a strong spring home buying season, although inventories ticked up in March. Despite this concern, we expect existing home sales posted a slight gain in April, rising to a 5.23 million seasonally adjusted annual rate."
