-- 米国の新築住宅販売件数は、北東部地域での需要急増に牽引され、3月のウォール街の予想を上回ったことが政府データで明らかになった。 国勢調査局と住宅都市開発省は火曜日、3月の戸建て住宅販売件数が前月比7.4%増の季節調整済み年率換算68万2000戸となったと発表した。ブルームバーグの調査による市場予想は65万2000戸だった。 この報告書には、公式データに基づく2月の速報値も含まれており、販売件数は63万5000戸だった。 3月の新築住宅販売件数は、北東部地域で前月比80%増、南部地域で11%増となった。中西部と西部地域では一桁台の減少を記録した。 3月の新築住宅販売価格の中央値は前月比5.3%減の38万7400ドル、平均販売価格は3.4%減の50万3100ドルとなった。 3月末時点の新築住宅在庫は前月比0.4%減の48万1000戸となった。公式データによると、これは現在の販売ペースで換算すると8.5ヶ月分の供給量に相当し、2月の9.1ヶ月分から減少した。 水曜日に発表された別の政府報告書によると、3月の米国の住宅着工件数は、戸建て住宅と集合住宅の両方で好調だったことから、予想外に急増した。全米不動産協会が先月発表したデータによると、住宅ローン金利の上昇にもかかわらず、3月の住宅販売契約件数は予想以上に増加した。
