US multi-family housing starts surged higher in February

Tuesday, March 17th, 2009

Housing starts jumped 22.2% m/m, to 583k in February, considerably above expectations. The increase was driven by an 82.3% surge in multi-family starts to 226k that was well beyond expectations for a modest rise and completely offset the decline over the previous three months. Single-family starts rose a much more modest 1.1%, to 357k. The increase in activity was concentrated in the Northeast, where starts jumped 89%. They also rose 59% in the Midwest and 30% in the South but fell 25% in the West. The decline in the West seems logical, given the huge overhang of foreclosed homes on the market, but the increases in other regions were surprising.
