Housing Starts Top 1 Million In March

 

New numbers show that in March, U.S. home builders broke ground on new homes at a seasonally adjusted rate of 1.04 million, which is the fastest rate since June 2008. Builders increased their construction pace by 7% in March, up from February. Steady job growth, low mortgage rates, and rising home values have been pushing more buyers into the housing market.
