米新築住宅販売 ６月分

商務省が発表した６月の新築住宅販売は年換算で３３万戸と前月比２３．６％増加。水準的には１９６３年以来２番目に低い水準。ただ、予想の３１万戸より良かったことから、マーケットでは好感されている。


New-home buying surged in June after a May plunge caused by the end of a government tax credit, according to a better-than-expected report on the ailing housing sector.

Sales increased 23.6% from the previous month to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 330,000, the Commerce Department said Monday. Inventories fell, a hopeful sign.
While the sales level was the second lowest on record since 1963, the unexpectedly strong increase offered a glimmer of hope about a sector stuck in the doldrums.
