Single-family starts had another strong month in October, and are now up 75% compared to their trough in April. Record low inventory is supporting homebuilder confidence, and that points to further gains in starts over the next few months.

We expect relatively small gains over the next couple of months, leaving single-family starts at around 1.19m annualised by the end of the year.
