Housing Starts

Housing starts are a measure of the number of new housing builds where construction has begun. Changes in the number of housing starts can show fluctuations in the demand for homes and the outlook for the construction industry. Buying a home also creates a number of consumption opportunities for the buyer, and therefore influences other industries such as retail sales, finance, and manufacturing.
