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
Sales of new single-family houses in the United States rose 1.3 percent from the previous month to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 719 thousand in November 2019, recovering from a 2.7 percent drop in October and easily beating market expectations of a 0.3 percent fall, as low mortgage rates continued to support the housing market.
