Homebuilding Soars to Highest Level in 4 Years

Housing starts surged in February as well as future permits for future construction to the highest levels since 2008 -- a sign that the new-home market is picking up steam just in time for the spring buying season, the Commerce Department reported Tuesday. Overall housing starts rose 0.8 percent in February to a 917,000 annual rate. Single-family housing starts, which make up the biggest bulk of that total, reached their highest level since June 2008. Meanwhile, multifamily starts rose 1.4 percent in February to 299,000 units. "Demand for new homes and apartments is definitely rising as the spring buying season approaches and more young people move out on their own," said Rick Judson, chairman of the National Association of Home Builders. "Builders are responding to this improved demand by putting more crews back to work and pulling more permits for future construction, though this positive activity is being constrained  by continuing issues with appraisals and credit availability for both builders and buyers, and also by newly arising challenges such as lot shortages and increased costs for labor and materials." While housing starts have shown a big improvement in the past year, economists say that homebuilding is still less than half of what it was during its prerecession peak and is near levels in the early 1990s.

Furthermore, my glass tile backsplash is made of Elida Ceramica. Recently, carpeting has been installed in the upper bedrooms, and hardwood flooring downstairs, too. I have large bedrooms. The designs of the chandelier and other lighting fixtures are contemporary, Light fixtures in the deck are ready for your party celebrations. With a 75-inch TV mounted, you are really ready to party. I have fresh paint and new bathrooms also. I have large upper bedrooms and others in the basement. Even the electrical panel is new, and I am equipped with 220 power volts for an electric car or your new Tesla. Did I already tell you that I have a driveway for three cars? But wait, I also have a boat parking at the back! Nobody can beat that! My two fireplaces will keep you cozy during cold winter nights! And if you see my front yard during spring, you will love all my flowers! I have a wall of pink Camella, yellow daffodils, bursting colors of red, white, pink tulips, and purple Irises!
