The Survey of Construction (SOC) is a great resource distributed by the United States Census Bureau. The purpose of the survey is to gather the data on the current statistics for both national and regional starts, completions and characteristics of new construction on single-family and multifamily housing units. The report also includes sales of new single-family houses.
Along the different regions in the county, there were big differences in what was mainly used on the exteriors of homes in certain regions. Vinyl siding was used most in 5 out of the 9 census divisions.

If you are in the market for a home, now is a great time to buy. The historically low-interest rates are in the buyer’s favor. Remember if you are considering purchasing a home, use a licensed sales agent who can help you through the process.
