Sales of new single-family homes in the United States reached a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 627,000 in June 2025, according to data released by the U.S. Census Bureau and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. This figure is 0.6 percent higher than the revised May 2025 rate of 623,000, but it is 6.6 percent lower than the June 2024 estimate of 671,000.
The inventory of new houses for sale at the end of June was estimated at 511,000 units, which marks a 1.2 percent increase from May’s inventory and an 8.5 percent rise compared to June last year. At the current sales pace, this represents a supply of 9.8 months—up from both May’s estimate of 9.7 months and June 2024’s figure of 8.4 months.
The median sales price for new homes sold in June was $401,800, down by 4.9 percent from May’s median price and by 2.9 percent compared to one year ago. The average sales price stood at $501,000—a decrease of 2 percent from May but a slight increase of 1.1 percent over June last year.
“These statistics are estimated from sample surveys. They are subject to sampling variability as well as nonsampling error including bias and variance from response, nonreporting, and undercoverage,” according to explanatory notes provided with the release.
The report also clarifies that changes in seasonally adjusted statistics can show irregular movement and that it takes three months to establish a trend for new home sales figures.
The next update on new residential sales is scheduled for August 25, when July data will be released.
