In other news, the government’s _1_ data for the month of May show new homes _2_ at their fastest pace in five years.NPR's Yuki Noguchi reports the Department of Housing and Urban Development says that's a much faster rate than last year.
来看其他新闻，政府公布的五月最新数据显示，新房销售量出现五年来的最高涨幅。据NPR新闻的野口由纪报道，美国住房和城市发展部表示，涨幅远高于去年。
New homes are selling at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 476,000. The last time they _3_ at that pace was in July of 2008. Demand for new homes is up 2% from April and up to 29% from the same period last year. Year over year the data show median home prices are up about 10%. This is consistent with other economic readings on housing, which show demand is up,supply is down, and that prices _4_ annually by double digits. Economists say higher demand _5_ in part by rising interest rates as consumers try to log in while rates are still close to historic lows. Yuki Noguchi, NPR News, Washington.
新房销售量经季节调整按年率计算为47.6万套。上次销售量达到这个水平还要追溯到2008年7月份。新房需求量较4月份上升2%，较去年同期上涨29%。数据显示，中间房价比去年同期上涨了约10%。这项数据与房市的其他数据相符，需求量上升，供应量下降，价格与去年相比涨幅达到两位数。经济学家表示，高需求在某种程度上由不断上升的利率推动，消费者试图在利率仍接近于历史最低水平时购入房屋。NPR新闻，野口由纪华盛顿报道。
