The decline in new ordsprog

en The decline in new home sales in January makes it clear that there is some real softening in the housing market.

en Given how strong January existing home sales were, the surprisingly sharp decline in January new home sales may be more an adjustment to the robust December sales pace than the start of a weakening trend in housing.

en Whether January's steep decline in home sales foretells a slow housing market for the entire year remains to be seen.

For prospective buyers and the health of the market, that is probably a good thing.

en No doubt these numbers will be taken by the market as a clear sign of a softening housing market and, by implication, an indication that higher interest rates are biting.

en New home sales surprised the experts. The Commerce Department said that new home sales were up by 13.8% for March, and last week used home sales were up as well.
