I wonder if this data is available broken down by region, and I wonder if lumbering blue states are dragging down the overall good numbers . . .
Great question and I am sure the data is out there somewhere. Anecdotally, the market in Spartanburg slowed dramatically last October, most notably in new construction. It seems to be one of demand. The economy here is good, but had shifted from growth to stability. That and affordability on $20 an hour wage.
