New home sales struggling to grow with higher rates

According to a recent report from the Census Bureau and the Department of Housing and Urban Development, new home sales in June 2024 were slightly lower than expected. The market is stable, but there are concerns about the impact of mortgage rates on builders. While larger builders have room to maneuver, smaller ones may struggle.

The Federal Reserve may need to intervene to support the housing market, especially as active inventory levels have surpassed pre-COVID-19 levels. Builders are cautious about new permits due to fluctuating mortgage rates and uncertain sales projections.

Active inventory above pre-COVID-19 levels

The number of active completed homes for sale is back to pre-pandemic levels, but this doesn’t necessarily translate to increased construction activity. Builders are focused on profitability and may hold off on new projects until market conditions improve.

Monthly supply: 9.3 months

The supply of new homes at the end of June equates to a 9.3-month supply based on current sales rates. Builders are monitoring this closely, with a threshold of 6.5 months signaling a potential slowdown in construction activity.

Breakdown of supply data

It’s important to distinguish between completed homes for sale and those still under construction. With a significant number of homes in the pipeline, builders are cautious about issuing new permits. The breakdown of supply shows varying levels of readiness for sale, highlighting the need for market stability.

Overall, the new home sales market is facing challenges, but it is not in crisis. The key factors to watch are mortgage rates, construction activity, and builder confidence. By closely monitoring these indicators, stakeholders can navigate the current market dynamics effectively.
