Building Materials
Building Materials: The producer price index (PPI) for residential construction fell 0.3 percent on a month-to-month basis during May—the first such decline in the current calendar year. On a year-over-year basis, the pace of growth in residential construction prices slowed sharply, dropping to 1.9 percent—the slowest rate of increase in more than two years. Gypsum prices recouped some of the loss-es seen in April, gaining 1.2 percent in May. With this gain, gypsum prices jumped 13.6 percent above last year’s levels. Lumber prices continued to rebound in May, led by a 4.8 percent month-to-month increase for softwood lumber products. Plywood, OSB and asphalt are the only other key residential construction areas that have seen prices rise by double-digit rates compared to May’s levels last year.

Multifamily Starts
Multifamily Starts: During May, the seasonally adjusted annualized rate of unit starts in properties with five or more units fell to 179,000 from 236,000 the previous month. However, this starts rate typically displays a great deal of volatility on a month-to-month basis. Using a three-month moving average, the 5+ starts rate fell from 228,000 in April to 208,000 in May. Despite the decline, May represents the third consecutive month for which the three-month moving average of 5+ housing starts has been above 200,000. Permits for 5+ build-ings surged nearly 18 percent in May, and over the past three months have averaged 258,000—pointing to the likelihood of continued strength in multifamily construction going forward. Overall, NAHB is forecasting that 5+ starts will average approximately 205,000 annual-ized for the remainder of 2012.

CPI vs. Rent: The shelter index, which serves as a way to look at overall housing costs, maintained its slow, steady climb by increas-ing 0.2 percent on a month-to-month basis for the 11th time in 12 months. For rental housing, NAHB constructs a separate measure of real rental rates from the CPI for rent of primary residences and overall CPI. On an annualized basis, the real rent index jumped 6 percent in May, based on a trend toward increasing rents, coupled with the sharp (annualized) decline in the full CPI. In addition, this marked the largest percentage rent jump since late 2008. Core CPI, which excludes the often-volatile categories of food and energy, in-creased 0.2 percent month-to-month in May—roughly the same rate of growth it has averaged since the beginning of 2011. On a year-over-year basis, core CPI advanced 2.3 percent for the fourth time in the last five months.
Existing Condo Median Price: Seasonally adjusted condominium and co-op sales came in at a level of 500,000 during May 2012, mark-ing a 5.7 percent drop from April. On a year-over-year basis, sales remain up 4.2 percent and have averaged 518,000 over the past three months. The non-seasonally adjusted median sales price for existing condos and co-ops climbed to $180,000 in May, marking the first time in nearly three years the median price level has been at or above that level. In fact, this latest reported median price exceeds the levels observed during the most recent version of the federal government’s homebuyer tax credit.
