New Construction Sales Down

Friday, June 26, 2009 - By Gate Arty

Sales of new construction homes fell 0.6% in May from April. The median home sales price was $212,600 in April, but rose to $221,600 in May. Meanwhile inventories of these new homes continue to fall to 292,000 units for the month of May. If sales were to hold at their current pace, it would take approximately 10 months to completely clear out the inventory of unsold homes. Builders have experienced intense competition & pressure from the sale of distressed properties & foreclosure that drive prices down, overall.
