STATEMENT
FROM COMMERCE SECRETARY
DONALD L. EVANS ON RECORD SETTING
NEW HOME SALES
April
26 - “Today’s record setting report on new
home sales is evidence that tax cuts and a pro-growth agenda are
making the dream of homeownership a reality for working families.
The most powerful medicine for our economy is simply allowing American
families to keep more of the money they earn. As our economy gets
stronger more Americans will have a chance to buy a new home.”
Note:
Today, the Census Bureau at the Commerce Department released data
showing that sales of new family houses increased +8.9% to 1.228
million units in March, above market expectations of about 1.170
million units. This is the highest level of new home sales on record.
