Construction Spending Rising Twice as Fast as Expected

Monday, March 1, 2021

Construction expenditures started 2021 displaying the same imbalance between the growth of residential and non-residential spending that had dominated much of 2020. The U.S. Census Bureau said overall spending in January was at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of $1.522 trillion, 1.7 percent higher than in December and 5.8 percent above the rate in January of last year. This more than doubled the median forecast which called for a 0.8 percent increase.

Combined public and private spending on residential construction in January was up 21.1 percent seasonally adjusted from a year earlier.  At the end of 2020, overall spending had exceeded the prior year by 4.7 percent while residential spending was 11.8 percent higher.

On a non-adjusted basis, total spending for the month was $106.307 billion compared to $113.334 in December and $101.121 in December 2020.

"Charles was very confident in setting up our loan and saved us from having to move. He is great in helping to get a mortgage loan. We are pleased he helped us through our loan. If I had questions Charles was very helpful in answering them. Charles attended the closing, at the closing Charles and his lawyer informed us of the forms we were signing and any questions were answered then. Thank you for helping so much."
