Both series indexed to 100 at their first observation in the range. Census · New Residential Sales: median sales price of new houses sold; Census · CPS ASEC Historical Income Table H-5 (all races)
Two measures. Different stories. Median sale price of new single-family houses sold in the month (not seasonally adjusted). Covers newly built homes only, not existing-home sales.
Annual pre-tax household income at the midpoint of the distribution, in current (nominal) dollars. Where Census re-estimated a year after a methods change, its current estimate is used.
