Abstract

July 2019 U.S. housing data indicated slight improvement; yet most categories remain well less than historical averages. Single-family starts, permits, and completions were all positive month-over-month. New single-family sales, total housing starts, and total plus single-family housing under construction were negative month-over-month. Notably, single-family construction spending continued a year-over-year decline. Total housing permits and starts also were positive on a yearly basis.

Keywords
