According to the latest data, the number of new homes for sale in the US in Q2 rose to 496,000 units, up from the previous value of 489,000 units. Affected by persistently high mortgage rates and economic uncertainty, new home sales fell significantly short of market expectations, driving up inventory clearance pressure. In the short term, builders will still need to rely on price concessions and subsidies to clear unsold units, as the market rapidly shifts toward a buyer's market.
