Maricopa is growing again, and homebuilders are returning.
In 2016, new single-family housing permits rose 70 percent compared to the previous year, said Martin Scribner, Development Services director for the city.
And homebuilders aren’t finished.
Scribner estimates that 1,500 to 1,600 undeveloped lots – within developed subdivisions – have been sold from developers to homebuilders, based on what he has heard in the last four months.
“How fast those develop is anybody’s guess,” Scribner said.
