The collective U.S. housing market was primarily positive in May 2018, on month-over-month and year-over-year bases. New single-family permits declined on a monthly basis. Existing house sales and multifamily permits were negative on month-over-month and year-over-year bases. Regionally, data were mixed across all sectors.
