The Commerce Department reported on Wednesday that sales of new homes in the country rose 6.2 percent from September to October. Sales rose to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 430,000 from 405,000 in September, according to the Associated Press. The increase outpaced economists’ predictions of a modest two percent increase. The median sales price for homes was $212,200, down just slightly from $213,200 a year ago.
The news comes just days after the National Association of Realtors (NAR) announced that national home sales activity hit an annually-adjusted 6.10 million units in October, the highest level since February 2007.
