U.S. housing starts dropped 6.5% in May
The U.S.
Commerce Department released the U.S. housing starts and building permits
figures. The U.S. housing starts declined by 6.5% to a seasonally adjusted
1.001 million units in May from 1.071 million in April. Analysts had expected a
decline of 3.7% to 1.034 million units.
Many
Americans are still struggling to afford new houses due to the high mortgage
rates. Single-family houses, the largest part of the housing market, declined
5.9% in May.
Apartments gained
9.4% over the past 12 months. It seems that more Americans prefer to rent a
house instead of owning homes.
The number
of building permits in the U.S. fell by 6.4% to a seasonally adjusted 991,000
units in May from 1.059 million units in April. Analysts had forecasted
building permits to decrease by 0.1% to 1.05 million units.
