Abstract

The month-over-month and year-over-year housing data for August were predominantly positive. Single-family starts were negative month-over-month, and permits were negative year-over-year. Completions remained slowed due to the unavailability of building materials and products, among other factors. Thus, certain builders may be reluctant to start new projects while waiting to complete units under construction.

Keywords
