U.S. Housing Starts Rise, Though Permits Fall
The pace of new home construction jumped in February by the largest amount in more than a year, but building permits continued to decline, indicating future weakness in the housing market, according a new Commerce Department report today. Total housing starts rose 9 percent to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 1.5 million million units economists had predicted and the largest monthly increase since January 2006. That's a welcome rebound following the decline last month, when construction activity nose-dived more than 14 percent.
