Weekly Market Report

For Week Ending September 2, 2023

The lack of existing-home inventory continues to boost demand for new construction homes, and U.S. homebuilders are ramping up production to help meet buyers’ needs. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, total housing starts rose 3.9% month-over-month to a seasonally adjusted rate of 1.452 million, and were up 5.9% from the same period last year, exceeding economists’ expectations. Much of the increase was due to single-family starts, which grew 6.7% month-over-month, led by gains in the Midwest and West regions.
