It always interests me how problems are presented, and the fresh research about more challenges for home builders is an example. Upon reading that appropriate parcels to build are harder and harder to find along with labor problems and supply chain issues, the article offers little to no encouragement for those within the industry. While I understand the need for industry associations to report on trends and statistics, I remain puzzled by the lack of at least one suggested solution. There is not a positive spin.
It's like when residential real estate associations release information about a local drop in home sales, and days later member agents are complaining about a lack of inventory. There are ways to report less than positive news while adding a positive spin.
Meanwhile, new residential opportunities continue to happen. They are happening from conversions of office space and other commercial properties and not from "fresh" builds. Conversion projects mean work for architects, designers, contractors, and brokers. Those taking action don't need to worry about how many or how few lots are now available.
There are so many opportunities for taking advantage of housing shortages, affordable or regular, in many areas. Those that think it's only about finding parcels ready for development without doing thorough research will still be complaining about not having lots to build on. Those that understand the value of research, and have technology and creative financing access are the ones that are going to succeed. It also makes a big difference to be "first in" on a project instead of a bidding war.
Let my team and me help you to find the many opportunities which fit your wheelhouse.
