New Home Sales Exploded Higher In August, But Prices Soared
With mortgage rates lower (but rising very recently), and mortgage applications spiking (though flat this week), and following record July cancellations, new home sales were expected to decline very modestly in August. The analysts could not have been more wrong as new home sales exploded 20.5% higher MoM (-0.3% exp) and are up 15.4% YoY.
That is the biggest MoM spike since August 2022…

It appears the surge in sales was dominated by the most expensive homes…

Additionally, houses for sale in Aug. fell 1.4% m/m to 490,000 pushing the months’ supply at 7.4 in Aug. compared to 9.0 prior month.
Did homebuilders finally capitulate?
Is the sales jump sustainable?

It appears lower mortgage rates and higher incentives helped a great deal but 20% is a crazy number.
