census.gov once again, housing starts report solidly retained the most uninformative title. I have no clue what it is telling me. Assuming their NOT seasonally adjusted numbers are correct, is it safe to use that as the number of new homes that will be coming down the pipeline and must be absorbed by the market? Now compare this to new home sales. census.gov Let me see if I understand this correctly. We are building at a pace of around 2 million per year and sales is around 1.3 million per year. So there are 700k or about 1/3 of these starts that are for personal consumtion and never sold? Personally, I like to see the Census Bureau combine Housing Starts, Construction Spending and New Home sales into one report. May be that will show us something a little more meaningful.
