The annualized quarter-over-quarter growth rate of US residential investment in the second quarter of 2026 was reported at 1.5%, rebounding strongly from a sharp contraction of -8.0% in the previous reading and turning positive for the first time in five quarters. Although the overall GDP growth rate of 1.5% during the same period fell short of market consensus, the recovery in residential investment and the real final sales to private domestic purchasers reaching a high of 3.9% indicate that the underlying strength of the US domestic economy remains resilient.
