Industry group: 2008 new home market slow
Sales of new homes in California dropped 62 percent in January compared to the year before, an industry group reported today. It's a difference of 2,679 new homes this year vs. 7,109 in January 2007. The numbers come from the California Building Industry Association/Hanley Wood Market Intelligence New Home Sales and Pricing Report. And the year-over-year decline for December was 67 percent, according to a press release from the association. "The winter of 2007-2008 could wind up being the darkest hour for this housing market," Jonathan Dienhart, director of Published Research for Hanley Wood, says in today's press release. 0 comments from 0 users
