Housing
Housing starts, building permits, home prices, and mortgage rates. Track the housing sector that makes up a fifth of U.S. GDP.
Housing is the most interest-rate-sensitive sector of the economy and often the first to roll over heading into a downturn. Mortgage rates feed directly into affordability and demand, while building permits signal future supply. Home price indexes like Case-Shiller capture the wealth effect that drives consumer confidence and spending.
