A sign of the real estate market continuing to boom. Even with the insanely high cost of materials, new starts (new construction) is continuing to rise.

I know a lot of people who’ve been waiting on the sidelines for the “crash” since 2019. Since, the market has gone up over 20% (more in some areas). If housing values gain another 20% in 2021 and there is a 15-20% correction in 2022, was it worth the wait?

Unless you’re a fix and flip investor, real estate is a long game. Just don’t overleverage yourself and you won’t regret it in the next 5 years.

I’ll repost this in 2027. Where I predict the median house price in the US will be $450k+

March housing starts rose almost 20%, and building permits, a sign of future activity, rose 2.7%. Lumber prices, which tripled in just one year, remain a major challenge.

For those of you asking about the health of the Real Estate Market here in Florida. This is a quick snapshot of some statistics from 2019 to 2020 and from June to July (last two months). As you can see inventory is way down, listings sold per month continue to rise, and the sales volume is up over a billion dollars from last year. If you are thinking about selling your house or investment property, it is a great time to list for sale. If you're thinking of buying, 2.85% interest rates aren't too shabby!
