SYDNEY, Jan 21 (Reuters) - Sales of new homes in Australia slipped for a third straight month in November as demand in the volatile apartment sector cooled a little, a survey showed on Thursday.
The Housing Industry Association (HIA) said its survey of large-volume builders showed sales of new homes fell a seasonally adjusted 2.7 percent in November, from October.
A 1.1 percent increase in sales of detached homes was swamped by a 15.1 percent drop in multi-unit sales.
