Housing activity was up in the first half of 2018 but is beginning to show signs of a potential slowdown.
Despite a strong job market and demand from maturing millennials, existing home sales, which make up about 90% of all home sales, fell for the third straight month in June because of high home prices, rising mortgage rates and low supply.
Both housing starts and permits were up in the first half of 2018; however, the month of June displayed a 3.5% year-over-year (“y-o-y”) decline in housing starts.
Single-family starts were up 8.1% in the first half of 2018, while multi-family starts were up 7.3%.
