Oct. 17 (Bloomberg) -- Housing starts in the U.S. surged 15 percent in September to the highest level in four years, adding to signs of a revival in the industry at the heart of the financial crisis. Beginning home construction jumped last month to an 872,000 annual rate, the fastest since July 2008 and exceeding all forecasts in a Bloomberg survey of economists, Commerce Department figures showed today in Washington. An increase in building permits may mean the gains will be sustained. âItâs no longer a question of whether the industry is rebounding,â http://www.sfgate.com/business/bloo...ump-to-Four-Year-U-S-High-Economy-3957469.php ----------------------------------------------------------- California home prices in July reached their highest level since 2008, according to analytics firm DataQuick.
