Details from the March 2017 US Housing starts and building permits data report 18 April 2017

  • Prior 1.288m. Revised to 1.303m

  • Building permits 1.260m vs 1.250m exp. Prior 1.216m

A slight miss on expectations, although negated somewhat by the higher revision.

Nothing really untoward in the housing market, which continues its steady progression higher since the crisis.
