Housing Starts During JULY 2026

The U.S. Commerce Department released its Housing Starts report for July, 2026:

---------------------------------------------------

Housing Starts:
Previous Reading (revised): 1,415,000

• Actual: 1,239,000

Month-on-Month Change: -12.44% (-176,000 New Units)

• Year-on-Year Change: -13.48% (-193,000 New Units)

---------------------------------------------------

Building Permits:
Previous Reading (revised): 1,374,000

• Actual: 1,443,000

Month-on-Month Change: +5.02% (+69,000 New Permits)

• Year-on-Year Change: +3.07%  (+43,000 New Permits)

----------------------------------------------------

Housing Starts: The top, yellow-highlighted figure is a measure of initial construction of single and multi-family residential units in the United States for the indicated month. Seasonally adjusted annual rate. The "predicted" figure is what economists were expecting, while the "actual" is the true or real figure.

If you're wondering about the demand for new homes in the United States, or about the American residential construction industry in general, then you should pay attention to the monthly Housing Starts report. This report also offers insight into specific types of consumer spending: when housing starts are up, demand for the stuff that a consumer would purchase for a new home (large appliances, consumer electronics, furniture, etc.) tends to also rise -- and vice versa.
