美国房屋销售量在三四月之间下降，由此证明房屋市场的问题并未结束。
今天(星期五)，一个商业组织(全国房地产商联合会)的报告说，三月份旧房销售量下降了1%。
这促使房屋的年销售量略低于490万套。报告还说住房销售价格的中值比去年同期下降了8%。
旧房销售是房屋市场的主力。新建的房屋销售下周将有报告。
房屋市场的问题是现在美国经济减缓的一个关键原因。
Home sales in the United States dropped between April and March, evidence that the housing market’s problems are not over.
Today’s (Friday’s) report from a business group (The National Association of Realtors) says sales of previously-owned homes fell one percent in March.
That pushed the sales of homes down to an annual rate of just under four-point-nine million units. The same report says the median sales price for a home fell eight percent from the same period last year.
Sales of previously-owned homes are the largest part of the housing market. Sales of newly-constructed homes will be reported next week.
Problems in the housing market are one key reason for the current economic slowdown in the United States.
