New home prices plunge
Sharp decline in price of new homes sold in April help spur stronger than expected sales.
May 24 2007: 10:09 AM EDT
NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- A big drop in the typical price of new homes spurred much better than expected sales, according to the latest government reading on the battered real estate and home building market.
New homes sold at an annual pace of 981,000 in April, up 16.2 percent from the revised 844,000 pace in March. Economists surveyed by Briefing.com had forecast an 860,000 rate in April.
The price of a typical new home sold in April was off more than 10 percent from a year earlier.
But the median price of a new home sold in April plunged 10.9 percent from a year earlier to $229,100. The new price reading was also down 11 percent from the March reading.
Many builders have been reporting that they were cutting prices and offering incentives such a covering closing costs and offering extras in the homes at no charge in order to maintain sales in the weak market.
The downturn in new home sales and home building has hammered results at the nation's largest builders, which are reporting losses, lowered earnings guidance, coupled with rising cancellation rates from buyers and charges for walking away from options they have on some land.
