There are more new homes being built in this country right now than there have been in a while.
Housing starts grew by more than 21% from April to May, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. And they’re up almost 6% over this time last year. The number of new homes that were just completed also jumped last month.
Given how few existing homes are for sale these days, all this new construction should eventually help with the affordability problem — at least in theory, right? More supply to meet demand. But much of what’s being built these days is more high-end housing, including larger homes and luxury apartments.
传统上产区倒是很平静。中产聚集的郊区大片大片的盖新房，离市区近的大片大片的盖公寓。房价会下来吧。

以劣币驱良币。所以买房时要当心新区。你高高兴兴买个新房，没想到过几年学区质量大幅下降。后悔都来不急。
我现在对新区新房一点兴趣都没有。有HOA的房我肯定是不买。我相信热爱自由的美国人会喜欢我那些没有HOA，充满自由气息的旧房。阿哈哈哈。
上涨有限。房价的上涨最终回归土地价值的上涨。所以投资房产应选土地供应十分有限的地方。但经营房产收租不同，大量经营mutifamily building 就行。你处于哪里就选那里的条件与对应策略最佳。这个观点在我十几年的多篇博文中已有论述。
通常没有基础设施，所以zoning要定到5 到10英亩才能建一个房子。是跟政策有关，但这个有关是因为基本条件不具备，怎么能多建？
