New single-family home construction accounted for 11 percent of the increase, 603,000 units, the best rate since Aug. of 2008. New multi-family home production spiked 25.1 percent to 269,000 units, the best pace since Sept. 2008. Meanwhile, permit issuance for new home construction rose 11.6 percent in Sept. to 864,000 units.

Regionally, new home construction rose in three of the four area, with only the Northeast showing a decline.
