About the report
The HomesUSA.com Texas New Home Sales Report uses Multiple Listing Service data from the Realtor associations of North Texas, Houston, Austin and San Antonio. It covers closed sales recorded in those MLSs by the 10th day of the following month and reports three-month and 12-month moving averages for six measures: days on market, sales, sale price, sales-to-list-price ratio, pending sales and active listings. The three-month averages track market seasonality; the 12-month averages remove it and track the longer trend.
