New Home Sales for December, 2006

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

Predicted New Home Sales for December, 2006: 1,050,000

Actual New Home Sales for December, 2006: 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 true 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.
