U.S. new home sales in June 2026 recorded a month-over-month increase of 1.6%, reversing the previous slump of -7.3% and beating market expectations. This rebound is primarily attributed to builders offering significant concessions and price cuts to offset the pressure from high mortgage rates. However, new home inventory remains at a relatively high level, and future housing market momentum will continue to be constrained by the trajectory of inflation and borrowing costs.
