January New Home Sales Soar 15.6%, December Better than First Reported
New home sales in January jumped to a
seasonally adjusted annual rate of 437,000, a 15.6 percent increase over the
December number of 378,000 and a 28.9 percent increase compared to January 2012
when sales were at a rate of 339,000.
The December figure was originally reported as 369,000 which had been an
-8.8 percent drop from the previous month.
According to the new home sales report
issued this morning by the Census Bureau and the Department of Housing and
Urban Development, sales rose on both a monthly and an annual basis in all four
regions. The monthly and yearly
increases were 27.6 percent and 54.2 percent in the Northeast; 11.1 percent and
13.6 percent in the Midwest; 3.2 percent and 16.6 percent in the South and 45.3
percent and 60.3 percent in the West.
The median sales price of new houses
sold in January was $226,400 compared to $221.700 a year earlier. The average price was $286,300, up from
$265,700 in January 2012.
At the end of the reporting period there
were 150,000 new homes for sale. This
represents a supply of 4.1 months at the current rate of sales. In January 2012 there were 149,000 new homes
on the market, a 5.3 month supply. There
were 31,000 new homes sold in January, only 12,000 of which were
completed. The median time on the market
for homes sold in January was 4.7 months.
John
Tashjian, Principal, Centurion Real Estate Partners in NYC said of the report, "January's
new home sales data is continued evidence that market is on a positive trajectory.
While we believe that we are still in the second inning of a nine inning
game, increased new home sales are a strong indicator of increasing consumer
confidence in the overall US housing market. As interest rates remain at
all-time low levels and access to capital becomes more readily available to the
homebuyer, we will expect to see new home sales continue to increase. As
homebuyers absorb existing inventory, we expect to see a resurgence of new
constructions starts which will give the economy a much-needed shot in the
arm."
