New Home Sales Surprisingly Jump As Volatility Remains

US DATA
  • New home sales continued their volatile streak in October, surprisingly bouncing 7.5% (cons -5.5%) after falling -11% in Sep - green line in chart.
  • Particularly large swings across the four regions leave some question marks for the beat, book-ended by the North-East up 46% and the West down -1%.
  • Nevertheless, there has been a broad plateauing in new home sales in recent months.
  • This is contrary to the continued decline in both existing home sales and building permits, with existing/pending sales particularly of note after giving a better steer at the bottom of the last housing downturn.
