Margin Compression for Builders
Higher Hard Costs
Slower Price Appreciation Going Forward
“Stiff” Land Prices with lot to home price ratios pushing
to +/- 25% and $1,200 to $1,300/ff
Affordability has weakened but keep perspective!
The rise of Williamson & Hays Counties
More tech company jobs
Still Affordable for Out-of-State Buyers (California)
New Supply has softened per subdivision sales rates (3.0 vs
2.0)
