Building Permits for New Homes Rose to Highest Level Since October 2008

摘要

New data reported by the U.S. Com-merce Department on March 20 offered big hope. The number of building per-mits for new homes rose in February to their highest level since October 2008, according to Comcast. If it leads to the kind of sustained re-bound in new home construction over the next 12 months that building permit activity normally portends, it could be especially good news for the overall economic recovery.
