"Regular" patio villas, over 1100 square feet, go for $225,000 and up. Cottages, verandas and designers are going for 20-30,000 more than just a few weeks ago. This has nothing to do with impact fees, it's strictly a result of connectivity. I worry about the affordability of housing here going forward. It is, of course, good news for those of us who already own.

I’m sure the connectivity has something to do with it but the prices of building materials is through the room. No pun intended
