A rising demand for new homes, coupled with a shortage of building materials, has created some unusually high housing prices and forced some homeowners to move into houses that haven’t been completed. An article initially published in the Wall Street Journal reports that for a while, some builders had to halt sales altogether while they caught up with a backlog due to a shortage of labor and increased housing demand. Just like with paint, supply chain issues coupled with a lack of available skilled tradespeople has caused significant disruptions. It’s pushed the average price of a new home to approximately $416,000, pricing a lot of people out of the market.

On the plus side, one builder reported that they expect the market to be “terrific” once supply chain problems are resolved. This will be good news for painting contractors who are able to put a new coat of paint on these homes. (Source: Paint Mag.com)
