For Week Ending August 6, 2016
Publish Date: August 15, 2016 • All comparisons are to 2015
Housing markets across the nation have mostly reached full recovery and are even
approaching or achieving categorical highs in sales and prices, yet builders are still
focusing on higher-end homes over starter homes in order to combat high land and
building permit costs. Until there is more entry-level inventory on the market,
sustainable balance will be difficult.
