Good News, New Home Sales | featured news

Sales of new single-family homes rose in March, indicating the housing market recovery remains on track.

The US economy registers surprisingly strong consumer confidence and new home sales data, suggesting the recovery is gathering steam.

U.S. builders started construction last month on the most single-family homes and apartments since July 2008, more evidence that the housing recovery is gaining momentum.

New single-family home sales surged in May to a one-year high and prices rose from a year ago amid tightening supply, further signs the housing market was gaining some momentum.

Sales of new homes dipped in January but the final quarter of 2011 was stronger than first estimated.

New single-family home sales unexpectedly fell in June, but a sharp rise in prices and declining supply suggested the market for new houses was starting to stabilize, a government report showed on Tuesday.

New U.S. single-family home sales rose unexpectedly in April to notch their second straight month of gains and prices increased, according to a government report on Tuesday that offered some hope for the stagnant housing market.

More people bought new homes in March, helping give the battered industry a small lift after the worst winter for sales in almost a half-century.

New single-family home sales rose in November but to a lower- than- expected rate , a government report showed on Thursday, highlighting the weakness in the housing market even as the broader economic recovery gains momentum.

For those seeking hope in the better-than-expected 23.6 percent jump in new home sales in June: it's only one month's data.
