Consumer sentiment fell roughly 6% in August to 51.7, an 11% drop year-over-year, according to Surveys of Consumers director Joanne Hsu. She said concerns about inflation will remain heightened for the foreseeable future.

Average square footage for new single-family homes was 2,426 in the second quarter, a small yearly increase, according to a National Association of Home Builders’ analysis of data from the Census Quarterly Starts and Completions by Purpose and Design. Home size has trended higher since 2024, which NAHB says is due to the upper end of the housing market faring better than the entry level.
