This market resolves YES if the initial Census/HUD New Residential Sales release for May 2026 reports new single-family houses sold in the United States at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 650,000 or higher. Use the total United States 'New Houses Sold' SAAR value from the initial May 2026 New Residential Sales release. Resolve NO if that value is 649,000 or lower. Do not use housing starts, building permits, housing completions, existing-home sales, regional values, unadjusted counts, median or average sales prices, year-over-year changes, or later annual revisions unless Census/HUD corrects the initial May 2026 release before resolution. If the May 2026 New Residential Sales release is delayed, wait for the first Census/HUD release containing the May 2026 total new-houses-sold SAAR value unless there is no such release by June 30, 2026, in which case resolve N/A.
