Abstract

The U.S. housing construction market’s third quarter was subdued, as all sectors moderated or declined. Once again, consensus expectations were for aggregate housing market gains, and these expectations were not realized. Overall starts, housing under construction, and completion data indicated quarterly improvement. Viewed from a recent his¬torical context, all housing construction subsectors exceeded the record lows observed in the 2008 to 2011 time period.

Keywords

Housing permits, starts, under construction, completions, construction spending, quarterly and annual construction averages, nominal and inflation adjusted construction spending, housing and gross domestic product
