We’re busier than we’ve been (both unity volume and dollar volume) since 2006. In fact, we’re on a 2-month delayed start construction schedule…which is basically a waiting list, as I’m keeping my staffing level the same and queuing the starts to maintain consistency and pace. I’m hearing plenty of similar comments from other local builders.
