There’s no doubt that home building creates jobs, but it doesn’t mean it’s the right time to start building again. We still have a huge oversupply of homes (at least in Atlanta) that need to be sold first. When building does fully resume it needs to be more responsible and sustainable.

It’s true that building may boost local economies, But you don’t want to create more of the same problem. – Houses that don’t sell or just rising inventories.

The recent announcement of the renovation tax credit will help. Perhaps they should have started out with a bigger tax credit of this sort and scaled back the new home credit. Maybe more plumbers and roofers would have switched to renovation work instead.

Who knows?

There’s no doubt that home building creates jobs, but it still doesn’t mean it’s a solution to our current problems. We still need much lower inventory before any building resumes and then it needs to be responsible and sustainable building!

Yes, home building create a lots of jobs, but it must be balance of building and requests, otherwise are you going to be sitting like us here in Spain with over 1 millions unsold properties who nobody is asking for. The banks and the Spanish Goverment are now sitting with them and have a new huge economic problem coming up and a very high unemployment, over 20%.

I can say for a fact that home building does create jobs here in Las Vegas. So many home builders here have stopped building, so there are a lot of construction workers looking for a job. .-= Chas@Las Vegas Real Estate´s last blog ..First Time Home Buyer Tax Credit Extended =-.
