Housing Market Updates
Sales of new one-family houses in June were at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 829,000 according to estimates released by the U.S. Census Bureau and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. This is 4 (+/-9) percent below the revised May rate of 861,000 and 13 (+/-10) percent below the June 1999 rate of 948,000. The median sales price of new houses sold in June 2000 was $159,000; the mean sales price was $196,300.
National vacancy rates in the second quarter 2000 were 8.0 percent in rental housing and 1.5 percent in homeowner housing. The Census Bureau reports that neither rate changed significantly from its corresponding rate in the second quarter of 1999.
The Boston Globe reports on the skyrocketing price of houses in New Hampshire in relationship to the rise in high-tech industry.
