WASHINGTON — The U.S. housing market has given a sudden jolt to what appeared to be a slumping economy.

Builders broke ground on homes last month at the fastest pace in more than seven years. The steppedup construction is helping boost sales at stores like Home Depot and Lowe’s and improving the likelihood that the U.S. economy will accelerate after likely shrinking early this year.

In part, the surge in housing starts in April reflected a rebound from a dismal winter that shut down construction sites and hampered growth across the economy. Builders may struggle to maintain their robust April pace.

But there is reason for optimism.

For one thing, construction of single-family houses rose in regions of the country where winter weather had had little impact. For another, the rate of approved building

permits — a harbinger of future construction — rose a solid 10 per cent from March to April. That reflects buyer demand.

“If you’re willing to buy a house, that speaks volumes about your confidence, job prospects and economic fortunes going forward,” said Michael Dolega, a senior economist at TD Bank.

The hints of a healthier economy follow a bleak first quarter. Growth is thought to have gone in reverse from January through March, a result of a harsh winter, a stronger dollar squeezing U.S. exports and lower oil prices cutting into factory orders.

On Tuesday, the government reported a surprising 20.2 per cent jump in residential construction to a seasonally adjusted annual pace of 1.14 million. As a result, analysts at Barclays slightly raised their forecast for economic growth in the April-June quarter to 2.7 per cent from 2.6 per cent, and Macroeconomic

Advisers boosted its estimate to 2 per cent from 1.9 per cent.

By region, house and apartment building starts surged last month in the Northeast, Midwest and West, while slipping slightly in the South. All four regions enjoyed increased construction of single-family houses.

The sharpest gain by far was in the Northeast, where the pace of construction soared nearly 86 per cent. That suggested that freezing temperatures and snowstorms held back builders early in the year and that last quarter’s jump pointed to strong pent-up demand.

In part, the increased home building reflects a dual nature of the U.S. economy: Hiring has been solid even while overall economic growth has remained feeble.

Employers added a healthy 223,000 jobs in April, causing the unemployment rate to slip to 5.4 per cent from 5.5 per cent.
