Sales of new single-family houses in June 2010 rose to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 330,000, up from historic lows in May, according to the U.S. Census Bureau and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. The growth beat analyst expectations of 310,000 units in June after the rate plummeted to 300,000 in May. The June rate fell toward the larger end of economists' consensus range of 280,000 to 350,000 units.
