Building Boom, Supply Chain Doom

This week’s blog is about a couple of articles discussing Southwest Florida’s building boom and supply chain issues. The first is an article by Fox 4 News about supply chain issues affecting all types of local businesses. From restaurants changing the type of flour that they use to appliance stores changing the products that they carry, there have been a lot of adjustments for local businesses. The next article discusses the building boom in all of Southwest Florida. SWFL is experiencing the second-largest increase in single family homes in the country. This is a sign of economic recovery from the pandemic slow-down experienced early last year. In September alone, permits were approved for almost 1,000 new units to be built throughout Southwest Florida. With all of these factors combined, it is a tough market be a builder in! Here at Southwest Florida Dream Builders, we have been lucky enough to only need small adjustments to continue to provide the quality homes that we deliver (currently) at 16-18 months. We have a few slots left for the rest of the year, with a predictably large amount of consumers shopping for homes in the Rotonda, South Gulf Cove, and Englewood area.

We are now sitting in our new model at 878 Boundary Boulevard in Rotonda (that’s the corner of Rotonda Blvd. East and Boundary Blvd.) from 9-3 Monday-Friday. If you would like to know more about land or homes in the local area, be sure to stop by and save a spot for your dream home today!
