The median forecast called for 1.16 million. The most construction permits for single-family homes since 2007 indicates ground-breaking will rebound in coming months.
 
Permits, a proxy of future construction, increased 4.1% to a 1.15 million annualized rate. They were led by an increase in applications for single-family homes, which climbed to a 711,000 pace, the strongest since December 2007.The drop in starts last month was primarily due to a 25.1 percent slump in work on multifamily homes, the biggest drop since August 2014. Data on these projects, which have led housing starts in recent years, tend to be volatile.
