About
A key economic measure: the Monthly Supply of New Houses in the United States. This crucial statistic provides an indication of the size of the new for-sale inventory relative to the number of new houses currently being sold. It represents the ratio of new houses available for sale to the rate of new houses sold. Essentially, this metric shows how long the current inventory of new houses would last, given the current sales velocity, if no additional new houses were built.

- DATE: The date of analysis, recorded as a DateTime count. This column spans data points from the beginning of 1963 up to the first quarter of 2022.
- MSACSR: This represents the actual Ratio of new houses for sale to new houses sold. The valid values for this measure range from a minimum of 3.3 to a maximum of 12.2.
