Do you mean new housing as in individual stand alone houses, or does that also include multi unit apartment buildings?
I only ask because in the old area I used to live in it seemed like they were building new apartments left and right. Meanwhile as far as houses go I would be inclined to agree, as I haven't really noticed any new construction going on. But that's just in the area I live now. It'd be interesting to see nationwide numbers.

Any new housing unit. There has been an increase in multifamily housing, but nowhere near enough to cover for the total drop.

Ah, I gotcha. Thanks for the answer!
