This is actually because housing starts are now way up, because the housing market is artificially inflated. There is no inventory, and builders are rushing to fill the gap. Bad time to buy a house, especially if you aren't selling one in the process.
Yes, I agree. Still can lead to some troubles if it doesnt swing back in line though. The starts being up were great,....but what those starts have led to now can not be so great. Supply just couldnt keep up with demand for several reasons. But yes....Housing starts were a biggy.
