On a yearly basis, approvals surged 17.1 percent – again beating expectations for a gain of 4.6 percent following the downwardly revised 17.5 percent spike in the previous month (originally 18.4 percent).
Approvals for private sector houses fell 2.0 percent in November, while approvals for dwellings excluding houses skyrocketed 30.6 percent.
