Why the Fall in April New Home Sales Isn’t a Reason to Worry

Why the Fall in April New Home Sales Isn’t a Reason to Worry

As per the explanatory notes on the Census Bureau’s website, it takes six months to establish a trend in new home (DHI) sales, and the latest data suggest no change in the upward trend of the new home sales (ITB) market. The Census Bureau reported that the median sales price for new homes sold in April was $312,000 compared to $366,000 in March, and the average home price in April was $407,000 compared to $366,000 in March. Overall, the decline across housing market data in April isn’t a reason to worry, as the improving US economy and rising wages could lend the required support to the sector.
