Abstract

The collective U.S. housing market was mixed in February, and once again new single-family (SF) sales were revised sharply downward. SF housing starts were robust, and other housing categories appear to have flat-lined on a monthly basis. Regionally, data were mixed across all sectors. New SF construction and remodeling spending remain positive, increasing at an incremental pace.
