Episode 24 - With home prices on the rise and interest rates still elevated, it's a question we hear all the time: Why can't we just build more homes?
In this special episode of Trust the Process, we’ve pulled together clips from past conversations to explore the complex answer. It’s not just about land. It’s about whether that land is buildable, the crushing weight of regulation, the time and cost of approvals, and the sheer effort it takes to bring a home from concept to construction.
📌 In this episode, we cover:
- Why “available” land often isn’t buildable
- The role of building codes and why they keep growing
- Engineering, architectural, and HOA approval timelines
- Why new builders don’t just jump into the industry
- What it really costs before you even break ground
If you’ve ever looked around and wondered why we aren’t just building more, this episode will give you the real picture behind the headlines.
