New U.S. single-family home sales rose in October to their highest level in a year pointing to a stabilizing housing market. The Commerce Department said sales jumped 6.2 percent to 430,000 the highest since September ‘08, from a revised 405,000 in September.

The sales rise dropped the supply of new homes on the market down to 239,000 units, the lowest since May 1971.
