Manatee and Sarasota Counties in Florida have seen a modest increase in new home building over the last three months. Amid the large home inventory, this is great news. Manatee County had 194 single family home permits for the first three months of 2008 and 290 single family home permits for the April, May and June of 2008. Sarasota County issued about 70 single family home permits for the first three months of 2008 and 154 single family home permits for April, May and June 2008.
Perhaps, the new, stronger, more energy efficient building code and green features are prompting more home owners to build a new home. With high energy costs and water rationing, building a home with advanced technology will payback very quickly and make the investment more valuable at resale.
