HOW TO READ THE INDEX

93.2 · HDX-C

The delivery reading compares completed homes in the latest 12 months with the preceding 12 months. 100 means unchanged. Starts and unfinished homes provide separate pipeline context.

Why it matters: Finished homes measure delivery. New starts and homes still under construction describe earlier stages, which may not finish on a predictable schedule.

This is the first delivery lens in the Homebuilding Pipeline family. It does not combine all stages into a future-supply forecast.

WHAT THIS DOES NOT TELL YOU

The limits travel with the story.

  • Starts, unfinished homes and completions are different stages, not three groups to add together.
  • Completions are gross delivered units, not net additions after demolitions or occupied homes.
  • The unfinished stock is not guaranteed future supply or a completion-date forecast.
  • Provider geography definitions can change; comparisons crossing identified boundary changes must be withheld.
  • No per-capita denominator is used in this pilot.

Reference period: October 2025 to September 2026.

Underlying releases: 19 October 2026. Existing rental and population pages retain their separately dated snapshots.

THE WIDER HOUSEDEX FAMILY

Five engines. Two released pilot views.

Market Balance and Home Supply need additional matched resale evidence and public-use clearance. Ownership Affordability needs matched household-income and ownership-cost inputs. Their readings remain unpublished.

Price Momentum begins with new homes; resale price coverage remains separate. Homebuilding begins with delivered homes; earlier pipeline stages remain distinct.
