New Construction Starts are UP

New construction is on the increase for the first time since 2008.  The rise in new construction starts across the country is also being seen in Southern Indiana.  Builders and developers who have gone out of the business or been quietly sitting on the sidelines are now getting back in the game.
New construction is obviously one small piece of the puzzle, but it is giving hope that there is at least a dim light at the end of the tunnel for the tough housing market both locally and nationally.
New construction also helps by putting people to work.  There is or will start to be an increase in the need for carpenters, plumbers, electricians, painters, landscapers, and in all the industries that supply products for homes.
