OMAHA, Neb. (AP) - The National Association of Realtors says
Midwest home sales jumped nearly 20 percent over last year as
buyers continued to go after expiring federal tax credits.
Figures released Thursday show 97,000 sales of existing homes in
March across the 11-state region. The median sales price was flat
$139,300.
The Midwest trends were reflected nationwide. Non-seasonally
adjusted figures showed total U.S. home sales increased 20 percent
last month. The median price was also flat at $170,700.
Home sales increased in all but one of the 12 major Midwestern
cities tracked in the Associated Press-Re/Max Monthly Housing
Report. Sales in the one exception, Cleveland, were flat with
year-ago levels.
