We have seen a small 3-bedroom home double and even triple in price over the past two years. I do believe people can afford a home at a reasonable price. We also have various financial help right now for new homeowners.

We all know prices have gone up but investors jumped in and raised prices right out of the selling market. Cities has also raised all fees for builders, which has also hurt our market.

These remarks and news ads have scared new builders from building affordable homes.

I would like to hear from contractors on this. A developers comments would be helpful out here.
