US housing starts rise,and home-builder optimism hits 6-year high!!

U.S. builders started work on more homes in August, driven by the fastest pace of single-family home construction in more than two years.




The Commerce Department recently announced that construction of homes and apartments rose 2.3% to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 750,000 last month, up from 733,000 in July.



Single-family housing starts rose 5.5 percent to an annual rate of 535,000 homes, the best pace since April 2010.



Since hitting a low of 478,000 in April 2009, the rate of home construction has increased by nearly 60%.



Additionally, confidence among builders rose in September to the highest level in more than six years, according to a survey released Tuesday by the National Association of Home Builders/Wells Fargo.

  1. Home builders today are very popular because there are so many people who wants their own home. Like me, I was in Orange County and I found Home Builders Orange County. I think all of the city here have their own home builder. For those who live in Orange County, you can visit Home Builders Orange County here for more information.
