US Housing Starts:
Housing Starts are the total number of single family houses that started construction in a given month in the US. Housing starts can be viewed as a forward looking metric to gauge the outlook for an economy. This metric most notably crashed during the 2007-2009 housing crisis. Housing starts reached as low as 478K (on a seasonally adjusted annual rate basis) in 2009 before beginning to recover.
US Housing Starts is at a current level of 1.256M, down from 1.386M last month and up from 1.236M one year ago. This is a change of -9.38% from last month and 1.62% from one year ago.
