Posted to:
Micro News
Tuesday, March 19, 2013 8:38 AM
- Feb Starts 917k vs 915k Consensus
- Jan Starts revised to 910k from 890k
- Permits 946k vs 925k Consensus
- Both metrics highest since June 2008
- Market Reaction: Housing Starts traditionally have a high margin of error. This print is no exception with a ±13.7% on Starts. Even then, we wouldn't expect a major reaction to this data given the other events in play r soon to be in play (Cyprus, FOMC...)
The U.S. Census Bureau and the Department of Housing and Urban Development jointly announced the following new residential
construction statistics for February 2013:

707,000.
Single-family authorizations in February were at a rate of 600,000; this is 2.7 percent (±0.7%) above the revised January figure of
