FX.co ★ US New Home Sales Miss Expectations

In June 2025, the United States witnessed a modest uptick in new single-family home sales, which rose by 0.6% to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 627,000 units. This marked a slight recovery from May's seven-month low of 623,000, yet it fell short of the market's anticipated figure of 650,000. These figures reflect ongoing challenges within the housing sector, as elevated mortgage rates and prevailing economic uncertainties continue to deter potential buyers from entering the market. Regionally, the South experienced a 5.1% rise in sales to 390,000 units, and the Midwest observed a 6.3% increase to 85,000 units. Conversely, the Northeast saw a significant decline of 27.6%, with sales dropping to 21,000 units, while the West experienced a decrease of 8.4% to 131,000 units.
