Don't have stats on hand, but the real estate market in Houston is very hot. In particular, it appears as if luxury close-in apartment complexes are being overbuilt.

Terry
Have not posted on the MDA board before, but since I glean so much information just lurking, the least I could do is give you some input regarding the construction industry here in the southwest.
I project manage for a fairly large construction company that has both a residential and commercial division. Here in Phoenix AZ. construction is still at an all time high with residential rising 20% to 25% in the past year. Both resale and new construction are selling at a premium. Seems like it would have affected inflation #s at least for this area. Hope this helps.
Back to Lurking!

Dave

<New construction is still going up here too. No doubt the credit bubble is alive and well, for now. It may not last much longer though>

As usual the numbers are probably lagging... so actual construction numbers will probably look quite good even as builders are blowing out of projects when they stop selling.
