WASHINGTON — February marked the fourth straight month of slowing sales of new homes to an already high-inventory marketplace. The Commerce Department reported a drop of 1.8% for last month.
The available for sale inventory of homes (both new and existing homes) is now almost a ten-month supply, the longest term in more than two decades of record keeping. Housing officials cite the higher number of foreclosed homes entering the market to be a factor.
