Sales of new, single-family homes rose 2.4 percent in July to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 515,000 units, according to new data from the U.S. Census Bureau and the Dept. of Housing and Urban Development released Tuesday.
The uptick represents a modest increase from June figures at 503,000, but sales still remain roughly 35.3 percent below July 2007 estimates of 796,000 units.
