SYDNEY, July 1 Asia Pulse - The sale of new homes across NSW slumped more than nine per cent during May, new figures show as the Reserve Bank meets today to consider a further rate rise.

The Housing Industry Association (HIA) says the sale of new homes in the state dropped 9.4 per cent during the month of May, to continue softening which had emerged since January.

"A finding that should surprise nobody given the aggressive tightening in monetary conditions seen over the last 12 months."
