Abstract

The collective U.S. housing market was mixed in March, and new single-family (SF) sales improved positively on a monthly basis. SF housing starts declined on a monthly basis, as well as new SF construction and remodeling spending. Existing house sales were negative on a year-over-year basis. Other housing categories appear to have flat-lined on a monthly basis. Regionally, data were mixed across all sectors.

Keywords
