March 2017 Shipment Report
If the diminishing gap between shipments and titles we were tracking to close out 2016 was a signal for a future surge in state shipments, March may have marked the arrival of that event. Multi-section and single-section shipments both posted double-digit month-over-month gains and hit high totals for each market segment beating all months since we began reporting in 2012.
Single-section shipment growth at 25% for 2017 continues to account for all of the year-over-year gains, but a solid 8% increase in multi-section shipments for March over March of 2016 is pulling that segment close to last year’s pace. With March’s totals included, total homes shipped for 2017 are up 12%.
