There were 13 permits issued in January for new homes to be built, which is coincidentally the lowest monthly figure since last January. Activity ramped up in February and March of 2008, so we will see if that happens again this year. Interestingly, there have been only a couple of permits issued where the valuation was over $300,000 in the past few months. Charles pointed out in last week’s Dothan real estate inventory report that this price range is basically dead in our area right now, new home market included.
There are currently 233 new construction homes listed for sale in the Dothan MLS, up over 7% from last month. Well over half of those listed are in the $100,000 to $200,000 price range. There were 12 sales of new construction homes in January, with an average price per square foot of $110.96 and average days on the market of 159 days.
