After hitting their highest level of the year, existing-home
sales slid in November as housing supply showed some tightening, according to
the National Association of REALTORS. Total existing-home sales, including
single-family homes, townhomes, condominiums and co-ops, fell 6.1 percent to a
seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.93 million in November from a
downwardly-revised 5.25 million in October. Existing-home sales in the
Northeast declined 4.2 percent, said NAR, but are still 4.6 percent above a
year ago.
