Material Costs
Lumber has stabilized from pandemic peaks. Appliances and specialty items still have longer lead times — plan selections early.
Labor Market
Skilled trade availability is improving but remains tight. Experienced builders with established crews maintain better schedules.
Design Trends
Main floor primary suites, home offices, wellness spaces, and indoor-outdoor connections dominate requests.
Interest Rates
Construction loan rates have stabilized. Lock in rates early in the process when possible.
