Key drivers

  • June sales rebounded modestly from revised May but stayed below June 2025
  • High months' supply and elevated for-sale inventory lean against a large upside move
  • Single-family permits softened in June, pointing to cautious builder conditions
  • Large month-to-month noise in new-home sales keeps the interval wide
