In April, new single-family home sales in the US rose by 10.9%, reaching an annual rate of 743,000 units, driven by builders reducing prices to attract buyers. This increase was unexpected as economists had predicted a decline to 693,000 units. However, the momentum may be hindered due to rising mortgage rates and an overall uncertain economic climate, which are significant constraints impacting the housing market's recovery and future performance.
New home sales surged 10.9% to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 743,000 units last month, indicating a favorable market adjustment by builders.
