New Home Sales for July, 2006

The July, 2006 New Home Sales report was released this morning:

Predicted: 1,100,000

New Home Sales for July: 1,072,000

July New Home Sales: Average Price: $293,500

July New Home Sales: Median Price: $230,000

June, 2006 New Home Sales (Revised): 1,120,000


Compiled jointly by the U.S. Commerce Department and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, the monthly New Home Sales report measures the number of newly-built homes with committed buyers for a given month.

The "predicted" figure is what economists and Wall Street forecasters were expecting, while the "actual" is the actual or real figure.

The New Home Sales report is watched by economists and investors because it offers insight into the state of the U.S. housing market, and also provides data that can be used to predict sales of large household furniture and appliances like refrigerators, air conditioners and microwave ovens.
