It’s always interesting to watch the ebb and flow of the housing market, especially when affordability is top of mind for so many. In August, new single-family home sales ticked up by 6.4%, reaching a 684,000 annual rate—even as they remain 2% below where we were last year. Inventory has held steady at 483,000 units, translating to about an 8.5-month supply. The median price nudged up to $393,700, though that’s actually 5.8% lower compared to a year ago.
