Zonda Regional Director Vaike O’Grady said in the release that high demand across all price classes, housing types and geographies means low inventory and a lightning-fast market conditions are not going away soon.
“There is strength across every price point and demand for every product,” O’Grady said in the release. “Despite developers building as quickly as they can throughout the region and more than 6,000 homesites projected to come online within the next six months, the overall number of lots in development is only just able to keep up with current demand. This means that homes will continue to sell as soon as they hit the market, and prices will continue to rise steadily in the months to come.”
