The number of permits pulled for the construction of new homes in Casa Grande continues to grow and is even starting to match or even exceed the number of new home permits issued in the city of Maricopa.

Last year, the city of Casa Grande issued a record 549 permits for new single-family homes. In 2018, the city had a total of 254 permits pulled for new single-family homes. So far this year, the city has had a total of 317 permits issued for new homes and is still on track to exceed the number of permits that were issued last year, despite the arrival of COVID-19.

The number of new homes being built is a good thing, according to Debbie Yost, a real estate broker and owner of Yost Realty Group at Re/Max Casa Grande.
