Housing Starts & Permits Plunge To Weakest Since COVID Lockdowns

A day after homeBUILDER sentiment finally cracked (though still dramatically more ‘confident’ than homeBUYERS)…

…and mortgage rates are rebounding higher, Housing Starts and Building Permits expectations were mixed ahead of this morning’s print.

The actual data was NOT mixed with both Starts (-9.8% MoM) and Permits (-2.0% MoM) well below expectations…

Source: Bloomberg

May Housing starts:

  • single-family up 0.4% to 924K SAAR from 920K

  • multi-family tumbled 30.4% to 316K SAAR from 454K, lowest since Nov 2024

This is the biggest MoM drop in multi-family unit starts since 2022…

This dragged the SAARs for both Starts and Permits down to their lowest level since the CVID lockdowns…

This should not be a surprise given the weakness expected from builders for future sales…

Perhaps the most shocking chart – that explains why builders are not building single-family homes is that inventories of unsold NEW homes is surging

Finally, rate-cut expectations are not helping…

So, don’t bank on The Fed to save the day.
