The indicator is cumulative data. Sales amount of commodity house: refers to the total contract price of newly-built commodity houses sold during the reporting period (i.e. the total contract price confirmed in the formal sales contract signed by both parties). This index is the same as the sales area of commercial housing, and it is also a cumulative data. Area of commodity houses for sale: refers to the construction area of commodity houses that have not been sold or leased in the construction area of commodity houses that have been completed for sale or lease at the end of the reporting period, including the construction area of houses completed in previous years and completed in the current period. However, it does not include the area of houses that cannot be sold or rented, such as demolition and reconstruction, unified construction and agent construction, public supporting buildings, self-use and turnover houses of real estate companies, which have been completed during the reporting period. Funds in place of real estate development enterprises in the current year: refers to various monetary funds and sources actually used by real estate development enterprises for real estate development during the reporting period. Specifically, it is subdivided into domestic loans, foreign capital utilization, self-financing funds, deposits and advance receipts, personal mortgage loans and other funds. The indicator is cumulative data. Housing construction area: refers to the total housing construction area of the real estate development enterprise during the reporting period. It includes the area of new construction in the current period, the area of houses that entered the current period to continue construction in the previous period, the area of houses that were suspended in the previous period and resumed in the current period, the area of houses completed in the current period and the area of houses that were suspended after the current period. The construction area of a multi-storey building refers to the sum of the building area of each floor.

The State Housing Prosperity Index chooses 2012 as the base year and sets its growth level at 100. Usually, the housing boom index of 100 points is the most appropriate level of prosperity, 95 to 105 points for the moderate level of prosperity, 95 for the lower level of prosperity, 105 for the higher level of prosperity. 5.6 . There are incomparable factors between the data of the reporting period and the published data of the same period of the previous year, and the growth rate cannot be calculated by direct comparison. The main reasons are: (1) To strengthen the management of projects in the warehouse and revise the sales data of commercial houses that break the contract and return a house. (2) Strengthen statistical law enforcement and correct the problem data found in the inspection of statistical law enforcement in accordance with relevant provisions. (3) Strengthen data quality management and exclude project investment of non-real estate development nature and sales data of mortgage nature.
