# New Home Sales: release dates, results and history


    New Home Sales last printed 0.68M on Thu, Sep 24, 2026 against a 0.62M consensus forecast and a 0.61M prior, a +1.5 standard-deviation surprise. Captured live by Helious the moment it printed.

    A new home sale goes on the books the day the contract is signed, not the day it closes. That gap is the whole point. It picks up a shift in mortgage rates a month or two before existing sales notice, which makes it the timelier read on housing demand, and builder incentives and rate buydowns turn up here first as well. You pay for that timeliness with ugly data. The revisions are huge and the confidence intervals are wide.


    NEXT RELEASE
    Released monthly, ~fourth week for the prior month, usually around 10:00 AM ET. The desk posts the print the second it lands.

      The official published series at its current vintage, revisions included, so the newest point can differ from the number as first printed. The release-by-release history, with the consensus forecast and standard-deviation surprise on every row, comes through the [Helious API](https://helious.io/developers/).





## How it moves Treasuries

    A beat is mildly bearish Treasuries. The market plays down any single print, because the series is noisy and gets revised hard. What counts is a break in the trend, not a wiggle from one month to the next. See it scored live on the [Helious desk](https://helious.io/),
