U.S. New Home Sales Rebound in June, Snapping May Slump

New home sales in the United States showed a modest rebound in June 2026, rising 1.6% month-over-month and partially recovering from a sharp decline in May. The latest data, updated on 24 July 2026, indicates a shift in momentum after May’s 7.3% month-over-month drop.

The comparison is based on changes from one month to the next. The current June reading reflects the change from May to June 2026, while the previous figure captured the shift from April to May 2026. The positive June result suggests some stabilization in the new housing market following the earlier setback, though the pace of recovery appears measured rather than robust.
