This year is shaping up to be a very positive one for residential construction in Houston, according to the latest numbers from Dodge Data & Analytics.

In March, residential construction spending in Houston totaled $736 million, a 20 percent decline from March 2015; even more, the Bayou City’s year-to-date spending now totals $2.157 billion, a 23 percent decline over the same time period in 2015. Houston’s sending remains very high, but it is falling by double digits from 2015.
