New home sales increased by 6.2% on a monthly basis to 685,000 units in October after a revised 645,000 in September, defying the economists’ expectations of a decrease to 625,000.
The unexpected surge in new home sales was mainly driven by an increase in home sales in the Northeast, where sales posted a rise of 30.2%.
