ADVISORY/Experts Available To Discuss Record Level New Home Sales in May.Business Editors ADVISORY... TOPIC: New home sales reached a record level of 8.1 percent in May, according to an article by Reuters. New single-family homes sold at an adjusted annual rate of 1,028,000 units in last month. Experts say low rates on long-term mortgages and a strong demand for housing due to a steady flow of immigrants into the United States are factors that contributed to the record level sales. Many people are buying new homes as a stable investment, as the stock market's performance has been poor for the last two years, the article says.
