100 means unchanged from the same month a year earlier. A reading of 103 means a 3% increase; 97 means a 3% decrease. The three-month movement supplies a second perspective.
Why it matters: The annual and recent movements can tell different stories. This helps distinguish a high price level from the direction prices are taking.
This pilot covers builder prices for new houses and land. It is not an existing-home price index.

Approved reading as JSON ↗The limits travel with the story.
- New-home pilot: excludes resale homes and does not cover every housing type.
- Unadjusted movements may reflect seasonality.
- One retained source vintage reconstructs history; it is not an archive of what was published at each past date.
Reference period: September 2025 to September 2026.
Underlying releases: 22 October 2026. Existing rental and population pages retain their separately dated snapshots.

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 Their readings remain unpublished.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.
