Sales of newly built homes jumped to the highest level in nearly nine years in july, and prices finally dipped a bit. As cnbcs diana olick explains, that may have less to do with builders lowering prices and more with buyers opting for smaller homes. Its happening in brandywine, maryland, at midatlantic builders, and across the nation. The average size of a newly built home is shrinking for the First Time Since the end of the recession. Mostly, its financing. It depends on the markets, but in our market, its been financings driving the deals. And people builders are adjusting their product to meet the affordability issue. More entrylevel buyers who need mortgages are coming back to the homebuying market, and neons more demand for smaller homes. At one point during the before the great recession, we were probably averaging 4,200 square feet a house. Now were 2,800 to 3,100 square feet. So, yeah, theyve shrunk quite a bit. Reporter the average size of a home built from april to june was over 70 feet smaller than it was in the first three months of the year.

There are real questions being raised about whether donald trump himself is just a puppet for the kremlin in this race. Reporter Hillary Clintons campaign manager, robby mook, insinuates on national tv that president ial candidate donald trump, compromised national security. The gentleman he brought with him to his security briefing just last week is someone whos on the payroll of the russia times, which is basically a propaganda arm of the kremlin.

Today in philadelphia, Independence National historical park is marking the National Park services 100th anniversary with a day full of activities. That includes familyfriendly games and treats, and a picnic and concert on independence mall. Its part of a yearlong celebration. We have been celebrating all year long, across the entire National Parks service. Our theme has been, we dont want just a birthday cake on one day. Independence National Historical park is one of more than 400 National Parks all across the country. And just yesterday, president obama named the newest National Park katana woods and Water National monument in maine. Dealing with a sick or injured child can take an enormous psychological toll. It can also have a devastating Financial Impact on a family. Well, one local organization is working to help people in our area facing these hardships. Christine dubonamowgli is the executive director of freds footsteps. And they have a big golf outing coming up. Christine, thanks so much for being here with us. Well talk about that outing in just a moment. But for those who may not be familiar with this organization, tell us how and why it was founded and what you do . So freds footsteps was founded 11 years ago. My dad was fred, and he passed away from cancer. And what we heard at that time was how he had helped so many people in ways that we just didnt really know about. And small ways that seemed small to him but were big to others. We started the organization in his memory, to help families carrying for seriously ill and injured children. We help them with their everyday Living Expenses, if one or both parents is out of work, and also home modifications and equipment. And you mentioned some of the things that youre helping them with. Tell me about the financial strain that this can put on a family. So we found that many of the families that we work are working families who may have insurance, but when a child is ill and one or both parents have to be out of work, nobodys covering their mortgage and their rent and these everyday Living Expenses that begin to pile up, and when they want to be there around the clock for their child, its nearimpossible to make that decision between being at bedside or going to work. So thats where we step in and are able to provide that relief, so they dont have to make that decision. So, how does that work. Do you basically know, at this point, what theyre going to need . Do they have to know specifically what they need help with . Or can you kind of help them along with that, as well . We can help them along with that, as well. The program is really structured around the fact that no two families are alike. We work with amazing social workers at the area hospitals, who help to identify what the need is for that specific family, based on their specific situation. And then we, from there, help them to figure out where the funding we provide for them can cause the most impact in their lives. And help them really get over the hump and get back to some sort of stability in their life or a new normal. And this outing, this golf outing will help you with that . Yeah, freds footsteps is our largest fundraiser, our 12th year having this event. And were really excited to welcome golfers at both Philadelphia Country Club and golf mills golf course this year. All right, fantastic. Thanks so much, christine, for telling us about the organization and planning this event. Now, heres a little bit more about that upcoming event, the 12th annual golf fun day to benefit freds foot steps. Its happening monday.

If youre heading out right now, the humidity is climbing. The wind has picked up. A breezy and warmer day today. And this afternoon, it will feel like its the 90s. And there will be more clouds increasing this afternoon and into this evening. Even a slight chance of a shower later today in the Lehigh Valley and the suburbs. So far, it is dry. 80 degrees in the suburbs. 81 in delaware, and up to 82 degrees in philadelphia. Pretty nice day at the shore. Partly to mostly sunny skies, already in the low 80s. And well get a lot warmer there, because the winds have kicked in. But inland, well see the temperatures climb into the upper 80s. And with the additional humidity today, its going to feel more like its near 90 this aftern n afternoon. Pemberton is 81. Princeton was in the 50s this morning, now 81 and climbing. With the winds this afternoon, topping 10 miles an hour, thats that humid air thats going to be coming into the air during the day today and staying with us overnight tonight, and youll really feel the heat tomorrow. The temperatures have been warming up, yesterday, 86 degrees. Closer to 90 today. But they soar tomorrow. 99 degrees and it will feel like 100 degrees and possibly even a little bit more tomorrow afternoon. And it wont be as cool tomorrow afternoon. Temperatures will bottom out in the 70s in philadelphia. Tomorrow afternoon, thats 2 30 in the afternoon, 99 degrees, the feelslike temperature for philadelphia. 100 for trenton. Steam heat before we get to the weekend. With the heat and humidity comes the chance of some scattered showers. Were seeing some very scattered, very light showers heading just to the poconos this morning. A few more to the west. Another chance of some showers coming in later tomorrow. But most of what were going to be experiencing today and again tomorrow are the muggy conditions. Keeping an eye on the tropics. Were watching two systems. Gaston has just now weakened, no longer a hurricane, now a Tropical Storm. That one is expected to head out to sea and take a big right turn. So stay away from landmasses. This next area could become a Tropical Storm in the next several days. If that happens, hermine would be expected to move towards florida and into the gulf of mexico. But its still uncertain and it has yet to form. Our weekend, looking pretty nice, actually. Sunny and warm. The humidity drops for saturday, but it stays hot on saturday and close to 90 on sunday. If youre looking for cooler temperatures, the shore will cool into the 70s on sunday afternoon, after a warm, sunny day on saturday. Allaround, a pretty nicelooking weekend forecast. Tendaying on 10, the temperatures same tomorrow, 90 for saturday, not quite as hot on sunday. Back into the low 90s on monday. We need some wet weather. Doesnt look like its going to be here until tuesday and wednesday. And then sunshine returns for the rest of next week. Well be right back. Thanks for watching nbc 10 news at 11 00.
