The National Association of Realtors' measure for pending sales of used homesincreased by 6.0% to 110.9 in April, the industry group said Wednesday. The gain was the third in a row. Economists queried by Dow Jones Newswires had expected pending home sales would jump in April by 5.0%. First-time home-buyers acted in time to beat the April 30 deadline for the tax credit. Lawrence Yun, NAR's chief economist, said sales this spring seem as strong as those last fall, before the original expiration date.
