- Definition: The estimated number of new single-family houses for sale that have started construction but are not yet complete at the end of the month.
- Note: Seasonally adjusted count of houses for sale at month-end, not houses sold during the month and not an annual rate. Census publishes estimates in thousands of houses and the source series is converted to individual houses. The three stages classify the for-sale inventory: not started, under construction, and completed. Preliminary monthly estimates may be revised.
