Construction Insight

Report

The cost of building materials plays a crucial role in homebuilding trends and new inventory, which in turn affect the entire housing ecosystem. CoreLogic’s Quarterly Constructions Insight Report helps make sense of the numbers that impact everyone involved in real estate transactions. In this report, CoreLogic examines the frequently shifting costs of building materials such as lumber, metal, drywall and shingles, as well as labor costs associated with housing starts or remodels. The report includes construction cost data for both the U.S. (by state) and Canada (by province). Read previous CoreLogic Quarterly Constructions Insight Reports.
