That would be a sharp pullback from a strong pace last month, by 12.4% at a rate of 654,000, which was the strongest since 2007. But monthly housing data are among the most volatile.

"Despite our expectations of continued improvement, we think residential investment will likely be negative in 3Q, serving as a very slight drag to GDP growth."
