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.
