New Zealand house sales in March recorded the best monthly result since November 2007, adding to signs of a real-estate-market recovery that may boost consumer confidence and spending later this year.

Sales rose 25.3 percent from a year earlier, the Real Estate Institute of New Zealand said in a report today. Sales reached 7,330 in March from 6,168 in February, according to the figures, which don’t adjust for seasonal variations.
