Dane County housing starts lower in September

Dane County housing starts totaled 48 in September, down by more than 22% from the 62 housing starts in September of 2008. The chart below shows how monthly housing starts have been trending since January of 2005.




The peak September for housing starts over the last decade was in 2003 (not in chart), when 239 housing starts were initiated. The 48 starts this past month were 80% off the peak.
