The market for new homes in the U.S. shrank in October 2021. The initial estimate of the market cap itself for the month is $28.31 billion, which is 0.9% less than one year ago, and 6.0% below December 2020's peak of $30.12 billion.
The market for new homes in the U.S. has shrunk in both real and nominal terms.
Meanwhile, the annualized number of new homes being sold in the U.S. has nearly dropped to levels last seen in December 2019.
The shrinking new home market represents a source of headwinds for the U.S. economy in 2021. We'll follow up with a look at the affordability trends for new homes later this week.
