New homes are selling at the weakest pace in seven months and it\u2019s been a slower summer for homebuilders than we first thought, the Census Bureau<\/a> said today.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a disappointing report. Even though new construction makes up only about 8 percent of the overall housing market, it accounts for an outsized share of job creation and consumer spending, and we look to it for a read on how the economy\u2019s doing in general. In June, new home sales clocked in at a 482,000 annual pace, Census reported, down nearly 7 percent from May and well below the 548,000 forecast in a Bloomberg survey. While this year is better than last–up more than 18 percent from a year ago–new single-family sales are at their lowest since November and about where they were a quarter century ago.<\/p>\n

While it\u2019s rarely a good idea to put much stock in a single piece of economic data, the trend in new home sales has been disappointing for a while. Builders simply aren\u2019t constructing enough houses to accommodate population and household growth. It\u2019s one factor of many contributing to the rapid rise<\/a> in housing costs.<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s report is at odds with other data that show a housing market bolstered by job gains, growing household formation and low mortgage rates. \u00a0First-time buyers<\/a> are starting to come back, credit is becoming easier to get and the economy remains on a slow path to recovery.<\/p>\n

And builders remain upbeat. The National Association of Homebuilders<\/a> today chalked up the disappointing data to the market\u2019s \u201cups and downs.\u201d<\/p>\n
