New home sales in the United States showed a rebound at the end of last year.

At the end of last year, new home sales in the US rebounded, with developers offering a large number of sales incentives and a slight decrease in financing costs, which boosted demand for home purchases. Data released by the US government on Friday showed a surge in sales of new single-family homes in November, equivalent to an annual rate of 745,000 units in December. The above data was delayed due to the federal government shutdown last autumn. Economists surveyed by Bloomberg had previously predicted sales of 730,000 units in December. This report provides data for the last two months of last year, showing the largest increase from October to November since August 2022. The median sales price in December fell by 2% year-on-year to $414,400. In 2025, only three months saw a year-on-year decline in home prices. Despite new homes accounting for only about 15% of total home sales in the US, the strong performance at the end of 2025 signals positivity for the overall sluggish real estate market.
