The Housing Industry Association has again revised down its outlook for WA housing starts this year, predicting a 12 per cent drop during 2008-09, according to its market outlook report released this week. It now estimates that 18,700 new homes will be built this financial year, which would lead to a shortfall of 10,000 dwellings.
