New Home Sales Fell 8.1% in October - According to the Commerce Department New Home Sales fell 8.1% in October to a 283,000 annual rate, and sales are down 28.5% year over year. This report came out before Thanksgiving last week and followed a weaker than expected reading for Existing Home Sales.

Home builders have slowed the pace of building as banks are stingy with regard to construction loans. There are only 202,000 new homes available for sale, the lowest since June 1968.

New homes are under downward price pressures with the median price dropping a record 13.9% in October to the lowest level since October 2003. The price decline was 9.4% year over year.
