Housing activity enters 2021 on strong footing with increases across almost all indicators.
December 2020
Housing activity was a bright spot for the economy in 2020 with growth likely to continue into 2021 to help curb the persisting housing shortage.
November 2020
Maintenance spend skyrocketed in November likely driven, in part, by rising costs of building materials and strong remodeler demand.
October 2020
Housing activity remains strong in October, but may slow in the coming months as the housing market reacts to conflicting signals from the COVID-19 vaccine news.
September 2020
In September, housing activity continued to climb, driven, in part, by a deferred spring homebuying season and strong homebuyer demand.
August 2020
Housing activity increased across the board in August. Notably, pool construction increased to unprecedented levels in the months following the COVID-19 outbreak, an indication of increased investment in the existing housing stock.
July 2020
Existing housing activity experienced notable growth in July, after experiencing its steepest declines in recent history just three months prior. Meanwhile, new construction increased month over month, but declined year over year.
