NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - The pace of new home construction slowed in the United States in February, the government said Tuesday, defying Wall Street forecasts of a slight gain.

The Commerce Department said housing starts fell 4 percent to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 1.86 million units, after falling a revised 6.3 percent in January. Economists, on average, had expected housing starts to rise to a 1.94-million-unit pace, according to Briefing.com.
