US Housing Market Remains Weak; Some Tidbits on New Home Sales, Which Declined Again in May 2011: Homes For Sale: Homes For Rent

The US housing market continues to be weak as new home sales continued to fall during May 2011.

The sequential number of homes sold in the US was down 2.1% to 319,000 units in May 2011; median home prices increased 2.6% to $222,600 during the same time.

Last year was the worst as far as the number of new homes sold during the past 50 years. New home sales have been decreasing during the past five years. The previous five years saw some record high sales numbers.

Home prices have fallen more during the "Great Recession" when compared with the Great Depression of the 1930's. After the Great Depression, it took 19 years for prices to fully recover.
