The last housing starts data under President Trump was a winner. Housing starts rose 1,669k units in December (a 5.8% increase). The fastest pace since 2006. Building permits were up 4.5%.
The housing starts were largely 1-unit (+11.97%) and not apartments (5+ unit starts fell -15.22%).
Of course, declining mortgage rates helped drive December housing starts.
