Interesting Home Sales Numbers Posted for October


On Wednesday we saw some price movement during the day, but for the most part MBS prices were pretty flat on below-normal volume. We learned that New Home Sales decreased 0.3% in October, but is up 17.2% year over year. The median sales price was $237,700; the average was $278,900. The seasonally adjusted estimate of new houses for sale at the end of October was 147,000, which represents a supply of only 4.8 months at the current sales rate. The press doesn't seem to be focused on that "shadow inventory" any more.
