May 24, 2019 10:23 AM EDT

(Reuters) - The U.S. economy is growing at a 1.3% annualized rate in the second quarter despite a drop in domestic new home sales in April, the Atlanta Federal Reserve's GDPNow forecast model showed on Friday.

This was a tad faster than the 1.2% pace estimated by Atlanta Fed's GDP program on May 16.
