Home construction up in August, but…

September 27, 2018 By Geoffrey Disch Leave a Comment

Yes, there is good news in real estate beside prices going up. According to the US Commerce Department housing starts increased by 9.2 percent in August, which translates to a seasonally-adjusted annual rate of 1.28 million units.

This, of course, is great news for the housing industry that is starving for inventory. However, the long-term prognosis isn’t so rosy. The high regulatory expense of new construction couple with ever-increasing costs for building materials, fueled largely by ongoing increases in tariffs probably means this gain in new construction will be short-lived.

this is made clear by the fact that new housing permits fell by 5.7 percent to 1.23 million in August. Moreover, single-family home permits dropped by by 6.1 percent while multifamily permits declined by 4.9 percent.

Our clients say...

“I’ve been in this industry for over 20 years. I have seen both fantastic and just “ok” escrow officers. The Escrow Officer and her team are typically the last stop for a borrower during the purchase or refinance transaction. You want that person and team to be personable, professional and helpful to your client. Kathy and her team at Green Escrow has surpassed my expectations. The team has gone the extra mile to ensure my file closed on time and without incident. I’m looking forward to continued success with Green Escrow.””
