July Preliminary Data

New manufactured home sales in July titled to date started out with a bang moving up a seasonally-adjusted +25.9% from the previous month and are up +43.6% over July of 2024.

It is important to note that the gains were likely boosted by the increased enforcement actions on titling deadlines by TDHCA MH and their subsequent clarification that the date of sale should be the later or the funding or delivery date.

This shift should lower the amount of titles issued after the 60-day window and will take time to be learned by our forecasting models, so take the under on the 1,578 (+/- 89) the model is forecasting for total new homes sold in July based on sales titled to date.

June Data

New home sales for June titled to date are down a seasonally adjusted -4.7% from the previous month and are down -4% on the raw total from June of 2024.

The same shift that boosted the July sales number was likely pulling from June and earlier months sales totals.

The updated forecast for total new homes sold in June moved down with the additional titling data to 1,274 (+/- 89). The top of the forecast range is below the shipment total of 1,520, so we should see aggregate inventory rise in June but fall in July.
