New home sales climbed a hearty 9.4% during February to an annual rate of 1.2 million -- the second- highest on record, just below October's 1.3 million pace. Despite the fact that many skeptics are still projecting a heavy landing for the market, the investment experts at the Taipan/247profits Group believe there is plenty of evidence to suggest otherwise. For example, although mortgage rates have increased to around 6% in February, job growth is also rising, as are incomes. That, coupled with continued robust demand and rising home values, is likely to keep demand stable for a while yet. In the year to February, price appreciation alone demonstrates the ongoing strength of the market, with the average sales price swelling 9.2% to US$288,400. Northeast sales drove February's gains, surging 20%.
