U.S. New Home Sales Dip To Annual Rate Of 464,000 In November

(RTTNews) - While the Commerce Department released a report on Tuesday showing a drop in new home sales in the U.S. in the month of November, sales still came in above economist estimates due to an upward revision to the October data.

The report said new home sales fell 2.1 percent to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 464,000 in November from the revised October rate of 474,000. Economists had expected sales to climb to edge up to 450,000 from the 444,000 originally reported for the previous month.
