A sale of the new house occurs with the signing of a sales contract or the acceptance of a deposit. The house can be in any stage of construction: not yet started, under construction, or already completed. New home sales account for about 10 percent of the US housing market. New single-family home sales are extremely volatile month-to-month and preliminary figures are subject to large revisions because they are mostly drawn from building permits data.

Latest Updates

New home sales in the United States dropped 8.6% from a month earlier to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 763 thousand in March of 2022, following a revised 1.2% drop in the previous month and below market expectations of 765 thousand. Declines were seen in home sales in the South (-10.2% to 414 thousand), the Midwest (-8.7% to 94 thousand), West (-6.0% to 202 thousand) and in the Northeast (-5.4% to 53 thousand). Meanwhile, the median sales price of new houses sold last month was USD 436,700, much higher than USD 359,600 a year earlier, while the average sales price was USD 523,900, up from USD 414,700.
