New US single-family home sales slide in July, confidence dips in August
📍 How it ended
By the end of July 2026, new‑single‑family home sales had slipped to the slowest pace of the year and the lowest level since January, while inventory rose and prices fell to their lowest since 2021. Builders faced heightened pressure from a tightening budget environment, a bond‑market sell‑off, and waning buyer confidence, leading some to adjust what they sell.
Although a few observers noted tentative hopeful signs, the coverage suggested the housing slump was likely to continue.
