This figure, which includes spending on both new construction and on improvements, was reported to be up $8.0 billion from March\u2019s revised figure.

However, when the values are corrected for inflation using the CPI-U, the value of the single-family housing put in place in April is still about 30 percent below the peak level reached in 2006.<\/p>\n<p>The value of multifamily housing put in place in April is 86 percent higher than the prior peak reached in December 2006 in unadjusted dollars.<\/p>\n<p>The next chart shows the residential construction spending each month relative to its level in January 2016, along with trendlines for single-family and multifamily construction spending. This chart allows the recent rates of change in the values of the three categories of residential construction to be compared. It also allows the recent plateau in the value of multifamily residential construction put in place to be more clearly seen.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-28831\" src=\"https:\/\/yieldpro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Census_ConstSpend_2204_ShortTerm.jpg\" alt=\"multifamily construction spending\" width=\"696\" height=\"435\" \/><\/p>\n<p>While the value of multifamily housing put in place has been running above its trend line since late 2020, its slow rate of growth is resulting in it slowly returning to trend.<\/p>\n<p>The report from the Census Bureau also includes information on spending on other types of construction projects.
