January Housing Starts Hit a 3-Month Low

mandy • February 17, 2016

The Commerce Department reported that January Housing Starts fell 3.8 percent from December to an annual rate of 1.099 million units. This was lower than the 1.171 million expected and a three-month low. All four major regions across the country saw declines, but a big East Coast snowstorm caused a halt in some late-month construction. January Building Permits, a sign of future construction, hit 1.202 million units, just above the 1.200 million expected. December Building Permits was revised lower to 1.204 million from 1.232 million.
