Builders of New Homes Seeing No Sign of Recovery

Kim Meier’s spring promotion, which includes a $17,000 credit at a nearbyGeneral Motors dealer, has produced seven sales since the beginning of March, a veritable windfall of business for a builder who sold only 20 houses last year. “We needed to do something dramatic,” said Mr. Meier. “The market’s been soft.”


Sales of new single-family homes in February were down more than 80 percent from the 2005 peak, far exceeding the 28 percent drop in existing home sales. New single-family sales are now lower than at any point since the data was first collected in 1963, when the nation had 120 million fewer residents.


There are about 65 sales a week for a region of 10 million people.
