China June new home prices fall at slower pace

BEIJING - China's new home prices contracted again in June, though at a slightly slower pace, official data showed on Wednesday, as weakness in nationwide demand offset small pockets of improvement in core cities.

New home prices dropped 0.1% in June from the previous month, compared with a 0.2% decline in May, according to Reuters calculations based on data released by the National Bureau of Statistics.

On an annual basis, prices fell 3.3%, easing from a 3.5% decrease in May.
