Definition

Estimated arithmetic mean sale price in nominal U.S. dollars for new single-family houses sold in the quarter and classified as cash in the Census financing table.

Prices are nominal dollars, not seasonally or inflation adjusted. The reported price is agreed at the first contract or deposit, includes the improved lot, and excludes later price changes and extras not in the original reported price. Census marks the newest quarterly release as preliminary and revises the prior quarter.
