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