Exciting news for those keeping an eye on Florida’s housing market: August brought a notable 28% increase in new-home permits, with 7,842 issued statewide and nearly $2.9 billion in construction value.

Every new permit is the start of another story, and it’s always rewarding to see confidence returning to the market.
