U.S. existing home sale up in February but down from year ago

U.S. home sales rose 11.8% in February, aided by accelerating wages and falling mortgage rates that are improving affordability.

The National Association of Realtors said that existing homes sold at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 5.51 million last month, a decisively sharp rebound from a pace of 4.94 million in January. Still, existing-home sales are down 1.8% from a year ago because of the severity of last year's slowdown.
