New Homes Sales Report – June 2023 (Released in July)

The New Homes Sales Report is a monthly economic indicator released by the U.S. Census Bureau and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Its primary purpose is to provide information about the sales of newly constructed homes in the United States.
The report gathers data from surveys of homebuilders and uses this information to estimate the number of new homes sold during the reporting period. The data collected includes metrics such as the number of new homes sold, the average selling price, and the inventory of unsold homes.
The New Homes Sales Report is an essential indicator for various stakeholders in the real estate and housing sectors, as well as for economists and policymakers. It provides insights into the overall health of the housing market, including trends in homebuyer demand, housing affordability, and the pace of new home construction.
Key components of the New Homes Sales Report:
New Homes Sold: This represents the total number of newly constructed homes that were sold during the reporting period.
Median Sales Price: The median price of the new homes sold during the reporting period. It is the middle value when all the sale prices are arranged in ascending order.
Average Sales Price: The average (mean) price of the new homes sold during the reporting period, calculated by dividing the total sales revenue by the number of homes sold.
Inventory of Unsold Homes: The number of new homes that were constructed but remained unsold during the reporting period. This provides an indication of the supply of new homes available in the market.
Months of Supply: This is calculated by dividing the inventory of unsold homes by the average number of sales per month. It indicates how many months it would take to sell the current inventory at the current sales pace, providing insights into the balance between supply and demand in the housing market.
The New Homes Sales Report is usually released near the end of each month and covers data from the previous month. For example, the report released in July will cover sales and related metrics from June.
Investors, homebuilders, real estate professionals, and policymakers analyze this report to assess the overall state of the housing market, its trends, and potential implications for the broader economy. If there are significant changes in new home sales, it can indicate shifts in consumer confidence, interest rates, housing affordability, and economic conditions.
Please note that the specific details and format of economic reports may change over time, so it's always a good idea to check with official sources or financial news outlets for the most up-to-date information on the New Homes Sales Report.
