福克斯新闻 新房销量下降

New home sales have been like a yo-yo the last two months, dropping more than 11 percent in April. The biggest decline in two years coming down from a surge in March when the sales space hit a near 10-year high.

The Commerce Department also reports the median price of a house also declined three percent in April from March. This after home builders broke ground on fewer new construction projects for the second straight month.

New home sales only make up about a tenth of the housing market.

The rest are considered existing or previously-owned homes.

过去两个月，新房销量就像抛出的溜溜球，4月份销售额就下降了11%以上。这是两年来的最大降幅，而3月份的销量还飙升到了近10年来的最高水平。

商务部还报告说，4月份的房价中值也比上月下降了3%。此前，地产商的开工建设项目已经连续下降了两个月。

新房销售仅占住房市场的十分之一左右。剩下的被认为是现房或二手房。
