Welcome to the Housing Construction Trends website, home of the Housing Construction Trends Report.

The Housing Construction Trends Report (HCTR) makes it easy to stay abreast of trends in residential construction. Every month the report allows subscribers to quickly see where the market is headed using our convenient Snapshot page. Subscribers see the strength and direction of residential construction at the state, metro area, and county levels. Monthly permit series and analysis can also be downloaded from the website.

Forefront Economics applies time-series analysis routines to isolate the underlying trends from normal seasonal and irregular movements in housing permits. The results are presented in each monthly report, allowing readers to spot trends and understand the market quickly without spending hours of analysis time.
