UNITED STATE builders began construction last month on the most houses and apartments since July 2008, even more proof that the real estate recovery is gaining momentum. The Commerce Department stated Tuesday that builders broke ground on houses in October at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 894,000. That's a 3. 6 percent gain from September. Single-family home construction dipped 0. 2 percent to an annual rate of 594,000, below a four-year high in the previous month. Apartment construction, which is more volatile from month to month, increased 10 percent to an annual rate of 285,000. Applications for building permits, a sign of future construction, fell 2. 7 percent to 866,000, after jumping 12 percent in September to a four-year high. Still, permit applications to build single-family houses increased to their greatest level since July 2008.
