New home starts were up again in March, compared to the past few months. Spring typically means an increase, but as you can see from the graph, that wasn?t the case this time last year. If we see another good couple of months in April and May, we might be able to say the bottom of the new construction market in Dothan, Alabama has been reached. The three-year graph below seems to support this idea.

Here is the trend over the last twelve months.

As of this morning, there were 217 new construction homes listed in the Dothan area MLS, down about 5.5% from last month. Another positive sign that things might be turning about for Dothan area homebuilders.
