Key Quotes
“The negative impact from the hurricanes on single-family housing starts will likely be reverted gradually. Permits for new single-family housing construction also improved in September. However, we expect continued weakness in multifamily housing starts to weigh down the total starts. Given higher vacancy rates in the multifamily housing sector, it appears likely that growth in multifamily housing construction would remain sluggish. For housing permits, we expect a rebound of 2.4% m-o-m to an annualized rate of 1255k.”
