Construction Costs Dropping

Hi there,

As predicted, the costs for construction of real properties are dropping. There are two reasons for that, one is that the costs for materials are lower due to lack of demand and lower energy and transportation prices. The other is the lack of jobs for contractors and strong competition for the little amount of work available.

The second item – competition in the construction arena – will tend to even out over time. What we expect to happen is that the weaker (presumably marginal) contractors will be forced out of business on a financial basis. The buyers will (have) become more discerning, making sure that their contractor lives up to the contract and does the job properly the first time. The days of the “slap it together and get rid of it” are over, at least for the near to medium term.

Finally, the market prices will be limited by the partially-finished properties that were stopped due to the lack of money and buyers. It will be less expensive and faster to finish the better of these than to start from scratch. The less viable incomplete construction (with design and/or infrastructure problems) probably will be demolished over the medium term, which will reduce the pressure on the lower end of the price range.
