Definition
New privately owned single-family houses sold in the month, expressed as a seasonally adjusted annual rate: the number of sales the year would have if every month were like this one after removing the usual seasonal pattern.
More on how it is measured
- A sale is counted when a deposit is taken or a sales contract is signed, whether or not the house has been started.
- From the New Residential Sales release of the U.S. Census Bureau and the Department of Housing and Urban Development.
- United States total.
Covers newly built single-family houses only; there is no official federal count of existing-home sales. An annual rate, not a monthly count: divide by 12 for a rough monthly figure. Published in thousands of houses; the latest four months are preliminary or revised and change in later releases. The 90 percent confidence interval of the monthly change is often wider than the change itself.
