US Housing Starts On The Rise
by OP-Mall on Thursday, March 26th, 2009 in United States Property
Latest reports from the US show a renewed sense of hope in the housing starts department as figures showed a 22 percent rise in February from the month of January. New work on some 583,000 homes is seen to be a positive sign and indication that maybe the worst of the US housing slump is over.
While the warmer weather is partially responsible for the jump in new construction, analysts do not believe this new rate will be sustained in the future. Most of the new housing starts are apartments and condominiums.
Plus, there still are hundreds of thousands of unsold properties on the market, keeping the recession tight. Despite the non shifting property market, economists think that “the worst of the contraction may have passed.”
