Florida Residential Construction Quarterly Overview

Posted on by

An overview of permit data for new residential construction in Florida through Q3-2022

Year after year, HBW has consistently reported marked annual increases in new home construction across the Sunshine State. Since 2018, Florida has reflected year-over-year increases in residential construction permits ranging from a low of 2 percent (2019) to a high of 32 percent (2021), but so far this year the market appears to be slowing, at least in some areas.

Overall, Florida has experienced a 1 percent decline in new home construction through the third quarter of this year, resulting in approximately 99,370 new permits on record with HBW. And while the change in new permitting activity is minor, it is certainly a sign of some slowing in comparison to previous years. More specifically, regions including the northern and southeastern portions of the state have exhibited year-over-year declines in new home construction ranging from -2 percent (Northeast) to -13 percent (Southeast). On the flip side, the western and central portions of the state appear to have more stability with year-over-year growth ranging from +2 percent (Southwest) to +4 percent (Central).

Here is a closer look at the total permits and leading counties for new residential construction by Florida region through Q3-2022:

Southwest

Since the start of this year (thru Q3), there have been approximately 23,500 new residential construction permits added to the HBW database for Southwest Florida; this reflects a 2 percent year-over-year increase in new home construction. Out of the 5 counties that make up the region, more than half of all new construction activity took place in Lee County (7,536 permits) and Manatee County (5,061 permits).

West

Much like the southwestern region of Florida, the West carried more than 23,000 new residential construction permits through the third quarter of this year; this figure reflects a 3 percent year-over-year increase in new permits. Out of the seven counties that were included in the area report, more than half of all new permits originated from the two counties of Polk (6,664 permits) and Hillsborough (5,337 permits).

Northeast

Through the third quarter of this year, the Northeast ranked #3 for new home construction as there have been 18,740 new permits added to the HBW for the region.

Texas Swimming Pool Construction Q3-2022

Posted on by

A quarterly review of permit data for new swimming pool construction in Texas through the third quarter of 2022

Since the start of this year (thru September), new swimming pool construction has been on the rise in the Lone Star State.  From the combined metro areas of Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, and Austin there have been nearly 10,300 new swimming pool construction permits added to the HBW database through the third quarter of this year; this reflects a 3 percent year-over-year increase in total permits.  While Texas has demonstrated a rise in new swimming pool construction overall, some metro areas are seeing gains, while others are slightly lagging in comparison to last year.

For example, while Dallas holds the highest concentration of new swimming pool construction (4,894 permits) and has exhibited a 3 percent gain in comparison to the same time last year, the Houston area is demonstrating its first major decline in more than five years with a 17 percent year-over-year decrease in permits through Q3.  On the other hand, metro areas like Austin which have less total new construction permits on record for the nine-month period (1,536 permits) have been experiencing annual gains for the last several years, and this year Austin is already exhibiting a major 53 percent year-over-year spike in new pool construction.

Here is a closer look at each of the four major metro areas in Texas and the latest swimming pool construction data available from January through September of this year:

Dallas

As previously mentioned, Dallas ranks #1 for total swimming pool starts so far this year, having 4,894 new permits on record with HBW. Nearly 50 percent of all new permits originated from the counties of Collin (1,244 permits) and Tarrant (1,152 permits), and although the Dallas area as a whole is reflecting a small 3 percent year-over-year increase in new pool construction, it continues to demonstrate significant growth in a few counties (Denton, Rockwall, Ellis) with annual increases ranging from 46 percent to 500 percent.

Houston

Since 2017, new pool construction has been on an upward trajectory in the Houston area, but so far this year, the market appears to have cooled. Houston and it surrounding counties have exhibited a 17 percent year-over-year decrease in new pool construction through Q3, resulting in approximately 2,960 new pool permits on record with HBW. More than half of all new permits originated from Harris County (1,591 permits), where there has been a 23 percent year-over-year decrease in new pool construction.  When looking at annual growth in the area, Brazoria (305 permits) and Montgomery (402 permits) are the only counties to demonstrate growth through the third quarter, with year-over-year increases of 12 percent and 4.5 percent respectively.

Austin

As previously noted, one Texas metro area that is demonstrating growth in swimming pool starts is Austin.  Through Q3-2022, there have been more than 1,535 new swimming pool construction permits added to the HBW database, reflecting a 53 percent year-over-year increase.  Out of the four counties that make up the area, the bulk of all new pool construction has taken place in Travis where there has been a 94 percent year-over-year increase resulting in more than 1,160 new permits.

San Antonio

New pool construction in the San Antonio area has been on a consistent rise for more than five years, and through Q3-2022 the area is already exhibiting a 30 percent year-over-year increase in new pool construction, resulting in approximately 900 new swimming pool construction permits. Out of the three counties that make up the San Antonio area, the majority of construction has taken place in Bexar County (647 permits) which is ahead of last year’s figures by 43 percent (thru Q3).
