Single-family Home Sales Jump in June
According to the Commerce Department’s U.S. Bureau of the Census, sales of new single-family houses jumped 23.6 percent in June to 330,000 units, well above private-sector expectations of a 3.7-percent increase.
"This is welcome news, although month-to-month housing data are volatile," said Commerce Department Under Secretary for Economic Affairs Rebecca Blank. "But one key ingredient for a healthy housing market is job growth, and the President remains tightly focused on ensuring that the labor market continues to recover." |
