Sacramento-area home builders ramped up their summer production in June, receiving permits to start 374 new single-family homes, apartments and condominiums, the California Building Industry Association reported Friday.
Capital-area builders accounted for 10.8 percent of the 3,446 permits issued statewide.
Home builders in El Dorado, Placer, Sacramento, Sutter, Yolo and Yuba counties started 374 single-family detached homes and attached multifamily homes or apartments, the CBIA reported.
That was up from 252 in May.
Despite the uptick, the region's homebuilders have cut production in half from last year.
Their 1,650 permits from January through June compare with 3,285 the same months in 2008.
The same pattern statewide means builders are on track for their fewest permits since the state started keeping records in 1954.
