New Home Sales Show a Small Uptick

The latest New Home Sales report brought a modest bit of good news for homebuyers. June’s sales pace inched up to 627,000 units on a seasonally adjusted annual basis—a +0.6% gain from May. While this increase isn’t groundbreaking, it signals that the market may be stabilizing after recent volatility.

Year-Over-Year Sales Still Down

Despite the monthly improvement, sales remain 6.6% lower than June 2024 levels. For the past two years, the market has been moving sideways, with occasional spikes and dips, but without any significant upward momentum.

Regional Sales Breakdown

Not all regions experienced the same trend. Here’s how sales moved by region:

  • South: +5.1% month-over-month, leading the national gain.

  • Midwest: +6.3% month-over-month.

  • Northeast: -27.6% month-over-month.

  • West: -8.4% month-over-month, where Gold River buyers are feeling the impact.

Inventory and Prices Are Shifting

Housing inventory continued to rise, reaching 511,000 units nationwide—a 1.2% increase from May and 8.5% higher than a year ago. This means more options for buyers. The months’ supply of homes climbed to 9.8 months, the highest level since late 2022.

Median sales prices dropped to $401,800, down 4.9% month-over-month and 2.9% year-over-year. For buyers in Gold River, this slight price relief could create an opportunity to find more affordable options.

Why This Matters for Gold River Homebuyers

With inventory levels rising and prices softening, buyers in Gold River finally have a bit more breathing room. Elevated mortgage rates—hovering near 7%—still pose a challenge, but greater housing supply could help offset some of that burden.
