Building Starts and Building Permits both came in higher than expected and more than last month’s reading.  Multi-family homes lead the charge.  NAHB Market Index fell another point to 47 (less than 50 is negative sentiment), and model traffic is down at a 27. With 2 million households forming this year and only 1.45 million new homes being built, available housing will be tight for years to come.  And that will keep prices elevated for sure.
