Washington County New Home Construction: Heading for BOOM or BUST?
Welcome! Today on GoStGeorgeTV I’ve got my hard hat on because:
- We’re going to be talking about the recent construction boom here in Washington County.
- And I believe (obviously) in a “Safety First” philosophy.
So, who is building all these homes? As of May, the top Builders shook up as follows:
- Salisbury Homes is the leader pulling 41 building permits totaling 7 million dollars.
- Henry Walker Homes – 34 permits
- Ence Homes – 30 permits
- Sunriver St. George – 19 permits
- And New Trend Construction pulled 15 permits as of the date of this video.
No, this building boom is not out of control. Note that the total # of building permits pulled in 2013, (1600), is less than HALF of the total # pulled in the “Boom” of 2005 when a whopping 3500 permits were pulled. As a matter of fact, in 2009 85% fewer permits were pulled than 2005, that’s almost a 100% decrease! This is a healthy return to the construction industry based on cooped up demand for new homes.
The real question here is can this level of construction be sustained?
- While I do not believe that we will have a big home construction decline, I predict that 6 months from now there will be quite a few builders who will regret building those last few spec homes, left holding the proverbial “bag”.
- This will likely result in having to sell those homes for a lower price than they had hoped.
- I also predict that the building market will slow down soon due to a decline in housing affordability. NOTE – I did NOT say that the entire market will necessarily slow down, simply that the dramatic increases in new construction costs will price Buyers out of NEW HOMES.
