U.S. April pending home sales index down 10.2% vs. year ago
U.S. April pending home sales index falls 3.2%
ECONOMIC REPORT: Pending home sales fall in April, Realtors say
By Robert Schroeder, MarketWatch Last Update: 10:22 AM ET Jun 1, 2007
WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) -- Pending sales of U.S. homes fell by 3.2% in April, the National Association of Realtors said Friday, with sales in the West and Northeastern regions of the country marking big drops. The pending home sales index is 10.2% lower than a year ago, the Realtors said.
But an economist with the group said the index suggests the housing market will stabilize.
"For the past two months the pending home sales index has been similar in year-ago comparisons, which means home sales might ease but should be fairly stable in the months ahead," said Lawrence Yun, NAR senior economist.
The index is based on pending sales of existing homes. A sale is listed as pending when the contract has been signed but the transaction hasn't closed. The sale is usually finalized within a month or two of signing.
The index fell 10.2% in the West in April, NAR said. In the Northeast, it fell 10.4%. It rose in the Midwest by 2.3% and in the South by 0.7%.
The pending home sales report follows an unexpected gain in new home sales in April. Last week, the Commerce Department said sales of new homes surged in April, rising by 16% to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 981,000.
But sales of existing homes, tracked by NAR, were off in the same month, falling to their lowest level in four years.
Most home builders have reported a soft spring selling season, and the home builders' sentiment index fell to a 16-year low in May. Building permits, considered an important forward-looking indicator, fell to a 10-year low in April. Mortgage applications, on the other hand, have pointed to steady or stronger sales.

U.S. May ISM 55.0% vs. 53.5% expected

ECONOMIC REPORT: ISM rises to highest level in a year

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) - More U.S. manufacturers were expanding their businesses in May than at any time in the past year, the Institute of Supply Management reported Friday.
The ISM index rose to 55% from 54.7% in April. It's the highest since April 2006.
Readings over 50% in the diffusion index indicate that more firms are growing than contracting. The ISM has been above 50% for four months, following a steady decline in late 2005.
Economists surveyed by MarketWatch expected the ISM to slide to 53.5% in May.
Twelve of 18 industries were growing in May, led by nonmetallic minerals, fabricated metals, food, chemicals and petroleum.
"A major concern of respondents is the rate of price increases covering a wide variety of commodities," said Norbert Ore, chair of the ISM's survey committee.
The new-orders index rose to 59.6% from 58.5% in April. The production index rose to 58.3% from 57.3% in April. The employment index fell to 51.9% from 53.1% in April.
The prices-paid index fell to 71% from 73% in April.
The inventory index fell to 46.1% from 46.3%, the 10th straight month of falling inventories.
