Members of the National Association of Home Builders are asked to rate the general economy and housing market conditions. The housing market index is a weighted average of separate diffusion indexes:
  • Present sales of new homes
  • Sale of new homes expected in the next six months
  • Traffic of prospective buyers in new homes
This report is an indication of both (1) economic momentum and (2) housing demand.
