How this statistic is built
DefinitionMedian sales price of new single-family houses sold each month, in current dollars, not seasonally adjusted.
LimitationsThe median moves with the mix of homes sold (size, region), not just prices — a shift toward smaller homes lowers the median without any repricing. Nominal dollars; monthly values are noisy.
