It really isn't yet a reversal because percentages of larger numbers are bigger than the very same percentage of the reduced number. ( 100 - 30% = 70 + 30% = 91) Then the numbers of starts is actually referring to apartments. Such a trend is actually away from home ownership and favors rental inventory and shows increased demand for such!
