Although the inventory of new homes for sale in February inched up to 373,000 units, this represented a low 3.8-month supply at the current sales pace.
“The supply-demand balance in the new-home market remains very, very healthy,” Seiders said. “Less than one-fourth of the inventory is comprised of houses that are actually completed and for sale, and the rest represents units still under construction or not even started. Builders are just keeping pace with demand without overextending production.”
