"November new home sales activity, both mortgage applications and home sales, ran at a pace considerably ahead of 2019, showing the ongoing strong growth in housing demand and new residential construction," Joel Kan, MBA's Associate Vice President of Economic and Industry Forecasting, said in a statement.
The estimated number of new home sales came from the survey's mortgage application data. With this data, it is estimated that 827,000 new homes will be sold this year.
