U.S. house prices rose more than economists estimated in May as sales demand improved following a slowdown earlier in the year.
Prices climbed 0.4 percent on a seasonally adjusted basis from April, the Federal Housing Finance Agency said today in a report from Washington. The average economist estimate was for a 0.2 percent increase, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
