Coweta New Home Market Watch

A little good news in Dec for Coweta new homes with unit sales up 46% over Nov. However, both months were far below what is needed for a healthy new home mkt. For the year, sales were down a whopping 40.2% with little light at the end of the tunnel. The good news is inventory continues to reduce, currently at 468 homes standing, the lowest its been in decades. As inventories continue to reduce due to few new specs being built, months supply will have a parallel reduction. As that number approaches 6 months we'll have complete health restored back to a battered new home mkt. However, we're currently at 9.3 so we've got a ways to go.
