Sales of newly built single-family homes rose in April, pointing to continued buyer engagement during the spring homebuying season, the latest data from the U.S. Census Bureau and Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) suggests. New residential sales increased 10.9 percent from March to a seasonally adjusted rate of 743,000 units. That’s also a 3.3 percent boost over the April 2024 pace of 719,000 units.
