Definition

The estimated middle sale price for new single-family houses sold during the month, dividing the estimated distribution so that half of prices fall below it and half above.

Monthly nominal U.S. dollars, not seasonally adjusted or inflation-adjusted. Census defines a sale by the signing of a sales contract or acceptance of a deposit; the reported price is the amount agreed at that point and includes the improved lot. The survey covers new privately owned single-family houses built for sale, not existing or multifamily homes, rentals, owner-built houses, or contractor-built houses on the owner's land. These sample estimates are preliminary when first released and may be revised. Changes in the average or median can reflect changes in the mix of homes sold, including region and size, as well as price changes.
