Home Starts Up 10.8 Percent in 2015 Total housing starts were up in 2015, weighing in at 1.11 million—that's 10.8 percent higher than 2014. This information is based on the Census Bureau's recent December 2015 data release, which allows us to look at 2015's starts as a whole. Despite December being slightly down-- 2.5 percent to 1.15 million—the yearly status overall was positive. “Starts were expected to increase in December because of the unseasonably warm weather, but instead they declined,” says realtor.com® Chief Economist Jonathan Smoke. “However, the monthly change was not statistically significant – the monthly data was too thin and noisy to give a clear reading. Even the year-over-year change in the December reading was not statistically significant. Starts were up 11 percent in 2015, and up in all regions but the Midwest, but single-family starts were up in all regions. Single-family construction finally grew at a double digit pace, nearly matching multi-family.”

Events in Fort Lauderdale | Halloween Fort Lauderdale Style Halloween is just days away and yes folks it is hard to believe it is nearly November. Today let’s take a glimpse into this festive time of the year and later look at several Fort Lauderdale events. Halloween is celebrated worldwide on October 31. The name itself is a contraction of “All Hallows’ Evening” and is also known as All Saints Day. This day brings about a three-day observance of “Allhallowtide”, a time of the year when the dead, including martyrs, saints and another faithful follows are remembered.The roots of pagan Halloween are traced back to the Celtic Speaking countries, including Ireland, the Isle of Man, Wales, and Scotland, Cornwall in England and Brittany in France. Who would have thought that!
