What the record is
The index covers new homes sold by builders, so it tracks the cost of building and selling new houses rather than resale prices. It is published monthly for each metropolitan area, with the house and land parts shown separately.
The report line gives the latest monthly value and the change over the past year for the area. Addresses outside every census metropolitan area have no index.
