I think the successful builders of homes in the USA during this downturn have done everything possible to build homes as quickly and effienctly as possible. Cetainly The Villages contractors appear to be very good at what they do. Saying that I agree that new home prices have to rise due to inflation of raw materials. The only other way would be to reduce the quality of the materials. They may sell a few less homes per month with prices going up, maybe that is why the projected build out is now 2018.
