Overall, new home sales have really gone nowhere for four years (but on the bright side, they are not as bad as existing- and pending-home-sales)...
It seems lower mortgage rates (admittedly having risen for the last month) did nothing to help move new home sales...
Finally, while existing home prices are lower, median new home price rose 2.0% MoM to $424,900, unchanged YoY...
