A particularly large influence on this result have the figures from January (-13%; 66,000) and June (-7%; 81,000). With 84,000 construction starts it was only April that could live up to last year's level.

Since 2014, the index has been stabilizing at a level of under 1 million construction starts per year. In 2017, 960,000 builders startet with the construction of new housing units.
