This service offers the following for each metropolitan market:

		The latest historical data and forecasts for twelve indicators of construction activity for each U.S. Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) for each year 1980 to 2010.
		Matching historical data and projections of economic and demographic indicators that determine demand for buildings.  Historical data is extended back to 1967.
		Indicators of potential undersupply or oversupply of buildings, based on the difference between actual construction and its estimated normal (baseline) levels, cumulated over the years from the beginning of 1980 to the beginning of the current year.
		Updates twice a year to help you keep up to date with changing local conditions and their implications for the real estate markets.

This service was developed by NPA Data Services, Inc., based on (1) its extensive historical databases and projections of economic and demographic indicators, and (2) its unique econometric models which relate the economy to the markets for buildings at the metropolitan level.
