## Resource

Housing starts plummeted to a pandemic-low of 1.17 million annual rate, signaling a major slowdown that’s hitting builders hard with rising costs and tighter credit—just as regions were finally catching up on supply. While the South and West saw steep drops, the Northeast and Midwest bucked the trend with gains, but overall, the market is cooling, risking deeper shortages and stalling efforts to meet housing demand.
