New home sales decreased in January to a three-month low, as housing affordability continues to sideline potential home buyers. Mortgage rates are expected to remain above 6% throughout 2025, coupled with elevated home prices, creating a significant affordability challenge for both first-time buyers and those looking to upgrade.<\/p>\n

Sales of newly built, single-family homes in January decreased 10.5% to a 657,000 seasonally adjusted annual rate from an upwardly revised December number, according to newly released<\/a> data from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and the U.S. Census Bureau. The pace of new home sales in January is down 1.1% compared to a year earlier.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

A new home sale occurs when a sales contract is signed, or a deposit is accepted. The home can be in any stage of construction: not yet started, under construction or completed. In addition to adjusting for seasonal effects, the January reading of 657,000 units is the number of homes that would sell if this pace continued for the next 12 months.<\/p>\n

New single-family home inventory in January continued to rise to a level of 495,000, up 7.4% compared to a year earlier. This represents a 9 months\u2019 supply at the current building pace.<\/p>\n

Completed ready-to-occupy inventory was at a level of 118,000, up 39% compared to a year ago.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

While the monthly supply of new homes is 9 months, there is currently only a 3.4 months\u2019 supply of existing single-family homes<\/a> on the market. NAHB estimates the combined new and existing total months\u2019 supply rose to a 4.2 months\u2019 supply in January. The market has not been near a 6 months\u2019 supply, which represents a balanced market, since 2012.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

The median new home sale price in January was $446,300, up 3.7% from a year ago. It is the highest median sale price since October 2022. The Census data reveals a decrease in new home sales priced between $300,000 and $399,999, which made up 24% of new home sales in January, compared to 29% a year ago.<\/p>\n

Regionally, on a year-to-date basis, new home sales are down 60.0% in the Northeast, and up 7.1% in the West. New home sales remain unchanged in the Midwest and South.<\/p>\n
