An overview of permit data for new home construction in Texas during the month of December 2021

Last month, there were more than 6,550 new residential construction permits with a total value in excess of $1.7 billion added to the HBW database for the Lone Star State.  Out of the four major metro areas included in the report (Dallas, Houston, Austin, San Antonio), the greatest concentration of new residential construction activity could be found in Houston (3,107 permits), while the highest average value of new home construction took place in Dallas (average value: $304,191).

In order to better understand new home construction activity by region, as well as where the greatest amount of new permitting activity is taking across the state, we used HBW construction data reports to identify the regions and counties with the greatest amount of new home construction last month, as well as the leading home builders driving those figures.

Here is an overview of new residential construction permit data in Texas for the month of December:

Total Permits

As previously mentioned, there were more than 6,550 new residential construction permits on record with HBW for Texas the month of December.  This figure represents the total number of permits on record with HBW from the four metro regions of Dallas, Houston, Austin, and San Antonio. As displayed in the chart below, more than 80 percent of all new home construction activity took place in Houston and Dallas:

Average Value

Last month, the average value of new home construction across Texas ranged from a low of $232,592 (Houston) to a high of $304,191 (Dallas):

Leading Counties

When reviewing reports from a county-by-county perspective, there were several counties that held significantly higher amounts of new home construction than others; the top five counties for new home construction (based on total permits) in Texas last month are as follows:

Top Home Builders

From the combined reports for each metro region, there were three home builders that were standouts as they were responsible for approximately 25 percent of all new home construction in Texas last month; those home builders are as follows:

Atlanta Residential Construction Annual Review – 2021

Posted on by

A report on permit data for new residential construction in the Atlanta area from January through December 2021

The stats are in, and HBW Building Activity Trend Reports have been finalized for new home construction in the Atlanta area.  According to the most recent report, there were 28,300 new residential construction permits added to the HBW database for the Metro Atlanta area last year, reflecting an impressive 33 percent year-over-year increase in new home construction. 

Since 2018, new residential construction in the Metro Atlanta area has been steadily and slowly declining, with the total number of permits on record slightly decreasing year after year. Upon review of the latest figures from 2021, it looks like the area is rebounding, resulting in Atlanta’s first year-over-year increase in new home construction since 2018.

When reviewing the reports from a county-by-county perspective, there are a few counties where new residential construction appeared to increase significantly last year… For example, in Fulton County there were nearly 2,600 housing starts last year, reflecting a 53 percent year-over-year increase in new home construction.  Additionally, Fayette County climbed out of its three-year decline, having a hefty 67 percent year-over-year increase in housing starts last year which resulted in approximately 715 new residential construction permits on record.  Another county that previously demonstrated a declining market (since 2019) and came out strong last year is Dawson County; in Dawson there was a 72 percent year-over-year increase in new home construction, resulting in more than 470 new permits on record with HBW.

When reviewing permit data to identify counties carrying the highest concentration of new home construction, the three counties that topped the list include Gwinnett, Fulton and Forsyth; all three counties demonstrated year-over-year increases ranging from 16 percent to 53 percent and have a combined total of approximately 9,480 permits, which reflects about 34 percent of all new home construction in the Atlanta area last year.

Gwinnett County led the Metro Atlanta area by having the highest total number of new permits on record with HBW for the one-year period. Last year, there were more than 4,500 new residential construction permits added to the HBW database for the area, reflecting a 21 percent year-over-year increase in new home construction.

While Fulton County (2,598 permits), ranked second-highest for total new permits on record in 2021, it was #1 for higher value residential construction (value greater than $500k) as approximately 18 percent of all new permits held values greater than $500k.

Finally, Forsyth County appears to be gaining upward momentum from the declining market that was evident from 2017-2019.  In 2020, the market started looking up as there had been a 10 percent year-over-year increase in new home construction, and in 2021 the upward pattern continued with a 16 percent year-over-year increase, resulting in 2,376 new residential construction permits during the one-year period.

Information utilized for the above listed figures for Metro Atlanta residential construction was directly derived from HBW construction data reports.

How to Use HBW Construction Data Reports – Part II

Posted on by

A continued list of tips for using HBW permit data and leads to benefit your business in 2022

Last week, we took a little time to review some of the easiest ways to use HBW construction data reports to benefit your business.  Today, we are continuing the list and adding three more ways to utilize your leads and permit data generated from HBW. 

Moving on from the basics in Part I, here are a few more steps you can take to map out the right path for applying HBW’s reports to your marketing strategy and efforts in the coming year:

  • Follow the Values – Do you know where higher value construction projects are taking place?  Do you know which communities have a higher saturation of new construction and/or remodels?  This information can easily be gathered by using the permit data provided in HBW reports.  By tracking project values and identifying where industry money is going in your state, region or county, you can tighten or expand your market focus to where interest and expenses for your services are on the rise.
  • Move Away from Declines– While every region will have its fair share of ebb and flow when it comes to residential and commercial construction, a marked and consistent decline in new construction and renovations may be a signal to shift your marketing efforts to a more favorable region.  By using construction data reports from the archives, you can analyze construction patterns in different regions over a period of time to move away from declining projects and hone in on the counties and regions where your services will be in greatest demand.
  • Let History be Your Guide – In addition to providing insight on patterns in various markets, historical data can also be your guide for predicting where and which properties will need renovations.  From aging roofs and flooring to swimming pool upgrades and property maintenance, you can strategically use permit data to cater to property owners’ current and future needs.

How to Use HBW Construction Data Reports – Part I

Posted on by

A guide for using your HBW permit data and leads (Part I)

With the holidays upon us and the new year just around the corner, now is the perfect time for a little inspiration and focus for marketing efforts in the new year.  Today (and in future posts), we are going to explore some of the best ways to utilize your leads and permit data generated from HBW. 

If you are already an HBW subscriber, then you are probably well aware of the options you have for reports.  From building trends, quarterly and annual market overviews to regional and builder-specific reports, there are countless ways to work with the data to best suit your needs.

For this reason, we are starting with the basics in Part I to get you started in building your plan and map for using HBW’s reports in the coming year:

  1. Build a Database – While this one may seem obvious, it is important that when you build a database, you design it for long-term success. Your database is only as good as the information entered, and how well that information is managed and updated.  Whether you choose to use a popular CRM (Customer Relationship Management) System, or you build your own database internally, it should allow for live updates from your sales team, include a key and codes for status updates, and have the capacity to expand and grow with your team as you make progress.
  2. Stay Updated – Storing contacts is one thing, but keeping those contacts updated and accurate is an entirely different ballgame. From new information received in HBW reports to feedback and actions taken by your team members, tracking activity and changes with your contacts is crucial for success. Whether there are changes to ownership and property status or service areas and customer relationships, all progress should be clearly tracked, updated and easy to identify and filter.
  3. Understand Your Market – If we have learned anything from the last year or two, it is that things change, and sometimes those changes can be rather unexpected. For this reason, it is important to have your finger on the pulse of the market in which you are focused. By using historical data from HBW’s archives and reviewing current permit data, you can begin to understand and even predict patterns in the market.  Through this practice you can identify where the demand is and will be for your services, the average value of construction in specific regions, leading competitors within any given area, fluctuations in the value of property and construction projects, and more.

While the above listed actions are just a few of the many ways to utilize HBW’s construction data and building trend reports, they play an important role in understanding your target audience and market.

As Florida’s eighth-most populous county (population estimates – 2019: 770,577), Lee County carried the highest concentration of new home construction out of all counties in Florida last month.  There were nearly 1,035 housing starts with a total construction value of approximately $230 million in Lee County during the month of November; that is more than half of all new residential construction in the southwestern region of Florida for the one-month period.

Pasco County

Pasco County ranked second-highest last month for new residential construction activity.  While Pasco is not the largest county in the Tampa area (population estimates – 2019: 561,891), the county has exhibited higher levels of new home construction.  Last month, there were 616 housing starts with a total construction value of approximately $195 million.

Polk County

Also in the Tampa area, Polk County ranked #3 for new residential construction last month.  By land, Polk County is equal in size to Delaware; the total area of the county is approximately 2,010 square miles, which makes it the fourth largest county in Florida (source: Orlando Sentinel).
