US Home sales rise

Sales of new homes in the United States posted their largest monthly gain in nearly eight years in June, the government reported on Monday, a sign that the housing market is bottoming as buyers take advantage of lower prices.

The Commerce Department reported that new single-family home sales rose 11 percent in June, an increase that dwarfed economists’ expectations of a 3 percent increase. The pace of home sales rose to a seasonally adjusted rate of 384,000 a year, the highest level since November.

As sales rose, median prices of new homes continued to fall, slipping to $206,200 from $232,100 in June a year ago.

It is good for US home industry. In this year home industry in very bad position.
