Sales of newly built homes rose in October for the second consecutive month, driven by demand for entry level homes.
Purchases of newly built single-family homes, a small portion of all U.S. home sales, increased 6.2% to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 685,000 in October from the previous month, the Commerce Department said Monday.
