You’ve probably noticed more new homes popping up lately. And maybe you’ve even wondered if builders are overdoing it.
But here’s why you don't need to worry about that.
The truth is, even though we have been building more lately, data shows builders are already pulling back.
Permits to start construction on additional new single-family homes have fallen for eight straight months.
And when you look at the regional data, you’ll see permits are down in almost every part of the country.
That means builders are paying attention to the economy and demand and being intentional right now. And that’s just one reason we’re not going to overbuild nationally.
Of course, inventory is going to vary by area. So, let’s talk if you want to know what builders are working on here.
Does that surprise you after all the online chatter about “too much building”? Drop a comment below.
