US: Pending home sales up 7.4 percent
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Pending home sales rose 7.4 percent from July to August, an unexpected piece of positive news for the battered U.S. housing market.
The National Association of Realtors said Wednesday its seasonally adjusted index of pending sales for existing homes rose to 93.4 from an upwardly revised July reading of 87. The reading was the highest since June 2007.
- Der er måske ved at tegne sig en bund under det amerikanske boligmarked. Det er nu der skal udøves særlig opmærksomhed på boligmarkedet, hvis en vending er undervejs. En vending kan betyden begyndelsen på enden af kreditkrisen.
