"We're seeing a much better attitude among buyers," Mr. Perry said. "People feel like home prices are rising, and mortgage rates are very low, so before prices rise too high, people want to get in on it."
One reason for the surge in building has been lower inventories of previously-owned homes and foreclosed homes, which usually sell at discounted prices. The National Association of Realtors last month reported at the current pace it would take approximately 6.1 months to sell all of the listed homes, a decrease from 8.2 months a year ago.
