NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- In an encouraging sign for the housing market, new
home construction increased in March, according to a government report
Tuesday.
Housing starts, the number of new homes being built, rose 7.2% in March to
an annual rate of 549,000 units, up from a revised 512,000 in February, the
Commerce Department said.
Economists had expected an annual rate 520,000 units, according to consensus
estimates from Breifing.com.
The report also said there were 594,000 building permits issued in March.
That's up 11% from 534,000 permits in February, and was also better than
expected.
Building permits were forecast to have increased to an annual rate of 540,
000 units.
