The increase, the first in three months, likely reflected continued discounting by builders, who have been offering incentives and reducing prices to support demand amid challenging market conditions. Sales rose in the South (9.9% to 412 thousand), the Northeast (3.6% to 29 thousand), and the Midwest (2.5% to 83 thousand), but fell 22.4% to 104 thousand in the West. Meanwhile, housing supply edged down 0.2% to 485,000 units, equivalent to 9.3 months of supply at the last sales rate. Also, the median sales price of homes was at $398,300, compared to $412,000 in May and $409,200 a year earlier. source: U.S. Census Bureau

United States New Home Sales
A sale of the new house occurs with the signing of a sales contract or the acceptance of a deposit. The house can be in any stage of construction: not yet started, under construction, or already completed. New home sales account for about 10 percent of the US housing market. New single-family home sales are extremely volatile month-to-month and preliminary figures are subject to large revisions because they are mostly drawn from building permits data.
