New Home Sales Fell 33.0% In May

June 23rd, 2010 by Belisarius

New home sales fell 33.0% in May to 300.000, the consensus was at 400.000, prior reading was at 504.000. The lowest reading since 1963. The first home-buyer tax credit expiry is a reason for a this kind of drop, the effect was already seen with cash for clunkers program.

A disastrous report.
