These are the graphical records done by CalculatedRisk for the month of February.

The graph shows monthly new home sales (NSA - Not Seasonally Adjusted).

Note the Red column for Feb 2009. This is the lowest sales for January since the Census Bureau started tracking sales in 1963. (NSA, 23 thousand new homes were sold in January 2009).

Total housing starts were at 464 thousand (SAAR) in January, by far the lowest level since the Census Bureau began tracking housing starts in 1959.

Single-family starts were at 347 thousand in January; also the lowest level ever recorded (since 1959).
