Karim writes:

  • Housing starts fell 16% in December and building permits fell 10.7%, and both to all-time lows in nominal terms.
  • These numbers indicate that housing will be a drag on the economy in terms of GDP accounting at least through year-end.
  • The level of starts consistent with new household formation (and adjusting for obsolescence of the existing housing stock) is about 1.25mm.
  • But what the current level of starts of 550k does not reflect is the record level of vacant homes (about 1mm more than the 1985-2005 average).
