United States Fourth Circuit

In an action alleging racial discrimination in the sale of real property, summary judgment for Defendants is reversed, where a prima facie case of housing discrimination is established whenever the actions taken by the property owner lead one to reasonably infer, if such actions remain unexplained, that it is more likely than not that such actions were based on discriminatory criterion such as race.
