WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) - Sales of new homes in the United States fell 5% to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 1.233 million in January, the lowest in a year, the Commerce Department said Monday.
The number of new homes on the market increased 2.5% to a record 528,000, representing a 5.2-months supply at the January sales pace. The months' supply is the largest in nine years.
Sales in December were revised higher to a 1.298 million pace from 1.269 million previously estimated. For all of 2005, new home sales rose 6.6% to a record 1.285 million.
Economists were expecting home sales to remain level at about 1.27 million in January, according to a survey conducted by MarketWatch, figuring that warm weather in the month would have kept seasonally adjusted sales above their slowing trend.
The median sales price increased 6.7% year-over-year to $238,100, which is exactly the median price for all of 2005.
The growth in inventories and the slower pace of price appreciation are factors suggesting the booming housing market of the past four years is losing steam as mortgage rates rise and affordability falls.
Homebuilders remain relatively upbeat about market conditions, however. Nearly 20% of the homes on the market at the end of January had not been started in construction. Another 58% are under construction.
Sales fell in three of the four regions, with the West, climbing 11.3% to buck the trend. Sales fell 10.3% in the South, 10.8% in the Midwest and 14.9% in the Northeast.
The government cautions that its housing data are extremely volatile and subject to large sampling and other statistical errors. It can take up to six months for a new trend in sales to emerge.
In the past six months, sales have averaged 1.275 million annualized, down from 1.30 million a month ago.
