According to the U.S. Housing Market Conditions report,
housing production for the second quarter of 2006
remained strong, but was down somewhat in comparison to
figures posted for the first quarter. Sales were mixed,
housing affordability fell, and multifamily housing
production declined. In addition to updates on housing
production, sales, affordability, and interest rates
during the second quarter, the latest issue includes
national trend data and updated information on regional
housing market performance. The report closely examines
the following housing markets: Austin-Round Rock, TX;
Dallas, TX; Denver-Boulder, CO; Detroit-Warren-Livonia,
MI; El Paso, TX; Fort Lauderdale-Pompano Beach-Deerfield
Beach, FL; Gillette, WY; Jonesboro, AR; Palm Bay-
Melbourne-Titusville, FL; Sacramento, CA; San Francisco
Bay Area, CA; and Savannah, GA. Finally, this issue of
U.S. Housing Market Conditions features an article
sketching a profile of America's housing, based on
recently released results of the 2005 National American
