The topsy-turvy auto, shown above, was actually the result of a freak accident. j The National Outlook t Housing Starts Drop Again JJy Ralph Robey In February, for the fourth. consecutive month, private hous ing starts declined. The *fctal in j that, month, on a seasonally ad-! justed basis, was at an annual I rate of 1,126,000. Last October j the comparable figure .was 1,-1 434,000. The original forecast of t'he. Department of Commerce wasj 1,400,000. That always appear-' ed on the high side, and now it is quite unlikely that such a total can be realized. Even some of the men in the depart ment are beginning to question this early estimate. There are various factors, of course, which influence the vol ume of building. One of these is the supply of funds, and the terms under which mortgages may be obtained. At present it is generally agreed that there is no short age of funds, and the interest rate on mortgages has shown only a very slight increase—and no change at all in most sec tions of she nation. The per sistent drop in the number 6f starts, therefore, is not explain ed by any change in either the volume of funds available, or the terms at which it may be borrowed. Another important element is the total cost of a house. We do not have an authoritative in dex- on this, but there is no question that over the past sev eral years the trend has been upward. Land values have been increasing, wages have been rising, and building materials and tile fixed equipment which goes into homos cost more and more. The changes have not been spectacular from one month to another, cither in the j aggregate or by the individual, items, but a house today is ex- 1 pensive, and that means many persons have been priced out of fills market as purchasers. Weather also plays a part in the number of starts that will be made in any one month, and in February this was especially true. For example, in the Northeast the decline between January and February was 27 percent; in the West the drop was 29 percent; in the North Central Region there was an 'in crease of 12 percent; and in the South the rise was 3 percent. The Department of Commerce state." specifically: “The very heavy rains in Southern Cal> fornia, particularly in the Los Angeles area may have con tributed to the sharp drop in the West.” Finally there is the question |of demand. During the depres sion of the 30’s there was rela trvely little home building, and this continued through the war. This' created a backlog of de mand for housing that was enormous. This accumulated backlog has all been worked off, and then some. This does not indicate that everyone has the type of home he would prefer, but. there is not the pressure for new houses that there was over most of the past decade. To a major extent the demand today has to come from those who are establishing families for the first time, from those who want and are willing to pay for a better home, and to replace buildings which are destroyed or abandoned. This aggregate demand should rise from year to year, ,but for 1962 it will be closer to 1,300,- 000 than 1,400,000. Obviously private hous ing starts are only one part of the totaj construction picture. When one adds commercial and industrial buildings, and all oth er construction, he gets a total of some S6O to s6l billion as the prospect for this year. That will be a new all time high, but not sufficiently above 1961 to add any great zest to the re covery. In a word, there is no reason to be especially disturbed by the decline of private housing starts. Construction as a whole will continue to be a sustaining force throughout the year.
