Details of the January 2016 US housing starts and building permits data report 17 February 2016

  • Prior 1.149m. Revised to 1.143m
  • Building permits 1.202m vs 1.200m exp. Prior 1.204m

Starts fall short but permits hold up so intentions to build stay steady. Again, the time of year can make the data prone to falls but there's no real worries in this report
