Home sales rose in January to the highest pace in nearly two years, flashing signs of health ahead of the spring-buying season.
The National Association of Realtors says home sales increased 4.3% last month to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.57 million. That's the highest level since May 2010.
Sales have risen in three of the past four months. But they remain well below the 6 million that economists equate with a healthy market.
First-time buyers, who are critical to a recovery, are increased slightly to 33% of sales. In healthy markets, first-time buyers make up at least 40%.
Homes at risk of foreclosure made up 35% of sales last month, up from 32% in December. (AP)
