October Housing Construction Trends Report Released by Forefront Economics Inc.
Tue, 29 Nov 2005, 15:58:00 EST
BEAVERTON, OR (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Forefront Economics Inc., publisher of the Housing Construction Trends Report, released their analysis of trends in residential units permitted for construction through October today. "Pockets of weakness observed last month in the underlying trend in housing units permitted for construction have spread to now include several areas," said Mark Thompson, President of Forefront Economics Inc.
"Our analysis shows that permits for single family construction are trending higher in the South, but are flat in the Northeast and West and falling in the Midwest. Just last month, three of the four Census Regions were trending higher in single family construction permits. This month's data provide another indication that single family residential construction has reached a seasonally adjusted peak and may now be trending lower. If so, single family permits will join multifamily construction in what is a predominately negative trend. All Regions now show a clearly falling trend in multifamily units permitted for construction."
Forefront Economics uses statistical algorithms to assess the strength and direction of trends in units permitted for construction down to the county level. This analysis is reported in their monthly Housing Construction Trends Report along with comparisons to the previous year and seasonally adjusted levels. Readers can use this information to spot the peaks and troughs in construction trends easier and earlier than simply looking at actual or seasonally adjusted values. Trends reported and discussed are adjusted for normal seasonality and irregular shocks allowing a clearer picture of the underlying trend.
Forefront Economics Inc. also released state trends for single family and multifamily units permitted for construction. State reports are available at http://housingtrends.forecon.com.
