The rate of sales in May was 19.8 percent higher than the estimated sales rate of 308,000 units in May of 2011. Sales were 25.0 percent higher than in May of last year on an unadjusted basis. Through the end of May, new home sales are 18.2 percent higher than at the same time last year.

The median sales price of the new homes sold in May was $234,500, which was down from a revised $236,000 in April. The average sales price for a new home in May was $273,900, down from a revised $283,900 in April.

Seventy percent of the new single-family homes sold in May were under $300,000, up from 69 percent in April.

In May of last year, the median sales price of a new home was 5.6 percent lower at $222,000, while the average sales price was 4.3 percent lower at $262,700.

Two of the four national regions posted increases in seasonally adjusted monthly sales led by a 36.7 percent increase in the Northeast, followed by a 12.7 percent gain in the South.
