The National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) tells MHProNews.com sales of newly built, single-family homes dropped to a seasonally-adjusted annual rate (SAAR) of 328,000 units in March, a 7.1 percent decline from the 353,000 homes in February.

The Midwest registered a drop of 20 percent, while the West fell 27 percent. Inventory of new homes in March fell to a record low of 144,000 units, a 5.3 month supply at the current sales rate.
