HOME SALES UP: Sales of previously occupied homes rose 3.4 percent in April, providing the latest evidence that the housing market is improving, if slowly.


WIDESPREAD GAINS: Sales rose in every part of the county, pushing activity to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.62 million units, nearly matching January’s pace, which had been the best in two years.
OUTLOOK: Economists believe an improving job market and cheaper mortgages will provide support for modest gains in home sales this year. But they say sales will remain far below the 6 million rate that indicates a healthy market.
