September 2015 Reports and October Preliminary Data

New single-section home titles moved back up above multi-section totals for the month of September and showed solid gains over August and over September of last year.

The YTD title total through September is still tracking at just below 2% growth over the same time frame in 2014.

Total shipments were down -4.81% compared to October of last year though, continuing the trend of diminished single-section shipments but increased multi-section totals for the year compared to 2014.
