Housing starts
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Housing Starts are an important indicator of the state of the economy. Housing Starts are the number of privately owned new homes (technically housing units) that have been started over some period. Housing starts are such an important economic indicator because they show how much money the general public has. If there is a rise in housing starts it likely means there is more money in the economy. Additionally if there are more Housing Starts in a time period the Federal Funds Rate is presumably low enough for individuals to be willing to borrow money from banks. Such data are reported by the United States Census Bureau and can be retrieved from [1]. Also check out this link: [2].
