Home construction is a seasonal business, with expected dips and rises. Note that November is the slowest month in the 12-month periods shown.

Again, visuals need to come closer to telling a complete story. The average cost of the houses in the April 22 sampling is about $277,000. The April 23 sampling is about $206,000. It says a lot about the expected new home buyers when the average price drop is about 25% despite the overall inflation rate and high cost of building materials.

Who is responsible for the monstrosity new homes on Apalachee Parkway between Conner Boulevard and the National Cemetery? Also, the gambling building they shut down a few weeks ago had an “open” sign. Boulos still does not know how to maintain their development’s right of way on Apalachee Parkway, another monstrosity.

First, can the writer use financial industry accepted abbreviations for average and month (avg and mo, respectively)? Plus, provide an historical chart to pre-Pandemic time periods as is industry standard in providing overall local recovery progress?

Also, for perspective, highlighting key development areas, pluses/minuses, would be tremendous in understanding their contributions as well as those on the drawing board. Also, their impact on hiring local employees would be awesome.
