How many new US residential sales will the U.S. Census Bureau report for July?
This is a scalar market on the number of new residential sales that the U.S. Census Bureau and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development will report for July 2021. The lower bound for this market is 600,000 and the upper bound is 800,000. This market will resolve on the Census’ count of "New Houses Sold", in their "Monthly New Residential Sales" Report for the month of July 2021, scheduled to be released at the webpage https://www.census.gov/construction/nrs/index.html (see "Current Press Release: Full Report [PDF]" in the "New Residential Sales" section), on August 24, 2021. The resolution source will be checked at 5:00 PM ET on August 24, 2021. If the source is unavailable at that time, or does not have the New Residential Sales data for July 2021, it will be checked the following day at 5:00 PM ET, and once daily at that time until the data is available. If at 5:00 PM ET on September 1, 2021 the data is still unavailable, this market will resolve to 700,000, which is between the upper and lower bounds of the market. You can use the calculator to the right (underneath the Buy modal) to calculate how each Long or Short Token price corresponds with residential sales. Long and Short shares will settle proportionally to the outcome value if the final value is between these bounds, but if the final value exceeds either the upper or lower bound, the price of each Outcome Token is capped at $1 and $0. In the event of ambiguity in terms of the market outcome, the market will be resolved in good faith at the sole discretion of the Markets Integrity Committee (MIC).
