The biggest factor driving these delays is the severe shortage of sub-contractors. After the epic residential building crash in 2009, many subs could not find work and found themselves in a new trade. It has been a slow process getting these professional framers, roofers, drywall and masonry contractors to construction sites to get homes completed.
Buyers thinking about purchasing a new home should be prepared to wait a full half year or
more for construction time. Buyers that do not want to endure this kind of build time, should consider a newer resale or seek a builder's spec home.
These are good problems to have actually, strong demand for housing helps keep resales moving in a positive direction and keeps tradesmen employed, all good :)
