December 2015 Reports and January Preliminary Data

Retailers had a good December as new titles moved up above Novembers totals reversing the Q4 decline, while continued strength in the multi-section market put total homes for the month over December of 2014. The year-to-date new title numbers closed out 2015 with single section homes down but multi-section sales growth pushed total homes for the year up 42 units or 0.35% over 2014.

Shipments kicked up in January for all section categories over the preceding December, and multi-section homes were up by 28.34% over January of 2015. The demand for multi-section homes continues while single sections were again down from the previous year.

Preliminary new title totals for January were down across the board.
