WASHINGTON, D.C. – October 27, 2010 – (RealEstateRama) — Sales of newly built, single-family homes rose 6.6 percent in September to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 307,000 units, their best pace since June, according to data released by the U.S. Commerce Department today.”The fact that new-home sales are finally moving in the right direction – albeit slowly – is definitely good news following an exceptionally quiet summer at builders’ sales offices and model homes,” said Bob Jones, chairman of the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) and a home builder from Bloomfield Hills, Mich. “The road to recovery will be a long one, however, and a key hurdle that must be surpassed is the lack of available credit for new-home construction so that builders can meet improving demand for new homes moving forward.”
