According to the National Association of Home Builders, there is a rising demand in
the new-home market spurred on by ongoing job and economic growth, the
continuation of attractive mortgage rates and increased consumer confidence. And
there does appear to be a notable increase in building or announced building
projects around the country. Builder confidence tends to equate with more
construction starts, which would be welcome news in an era of low inventory.
