Well in 2006 as we all know the market hit the skids, new home sales plummeted and new home construction came to a screeching halt.  That year is making a difference again but in a good way. New homes construction bottomed out at the end of 2011 and the begining of 2012. While there were over 14,000 new homes built in 2005, only a little over 2000 were built in 2011. Well here we are at the begining of 2013 and new home sales are back, since the middle of 2012 we have seen an increase in new home construction every... 02/06/2013
