Well, the jump in new home starts here in the Dothan real estate market was short lived. Last month we had a big increase. This month the number was right back down again. There were 23 new residential construction permits issued in May, down from 37 in April.

Here is the trend over the last twelve months.

Inventory of new construction homes on the market remains steady. There are currently 224 listed in the Dothan area MLS, the same number as last month.

What will next month hold?
