Housing starts dip in January but remain high
Groundbreaking fell 2 percent to a 1.07 million unit pace, still above one million for five straight months. Single family starts slid 6.7 percent to 678,000 while multifamily rose 7.5 percent to 360,000 as housing demand tightens and household formation accelerates.
