The U.S. new home market has largely recovered from the disruption of January 2026's blizzards. Unfortunately, rising mortgage rates combined with an uptick in the average sale price of new homes to reduce the quantity of sales.

Political Calculations' initial estimate of the total value of new home sales in the United States during April 2026 is $28.30 billion.
