Materials are currently sometimes difficult to find and mostly priced higher than they were a brief time ago. Builders must comply with tighter building codes and environmental impact issues both of which add to costs. The supply-demand situation means the market is tight. Higher interest rates are on the horizon which may add downward pressure as folks can only pay so much a month. It is a conundrum.
