2020 has been an exceptional year for the sale of homes in the Pacific Northwest, and it’s only March! Rob Rice Homes has sold more individual units since January than in company founder Rob Rice’s entire 30 years as a developer. The housing market is red hot, and our premier locations, spacious lots and exclusive plans for our homes are in their highest demand ever.
According to the Northwest Multiple Listing Service (NMLS) Market Snapshot, NWMLS brokers sold 899 new construction residential homes and condos in January 2020. That is a whopping increase of 30.9 percent when compared to sales from January 2019. Homes are selling an incredible 36.1 percent faster than last year, and active listings are down a stunning 33.3 percent. The demand for new homes isn’t just high, it’s astounding.
At Rob Rice Homes, this extraordinary market offers us two choices: increase operations to meet customer demand or continue at our planned home building pace for the year. While it might seem like an easy decision, increasing production means hiring additional subcontractors whose work we have not vetted, and therefore, cannot endorse. We’re committed to only providing top quality homes that are exceptionally built by talented partners. We’re proud of our relationships with highly skilled subcontractors including our incredibly talented framers, which have been forged over many generations of working together. Every Rob Rice Home meets an exceptionally high standard of luxury and excellence and pushing homes off an assembly line simply isn’t our way.
Rob Rice Homes builds and sells 100-120 homes a year, regardless of market fluctuations, and 2020 is no exception. At the publication time of this article we have just three stunning properties up for sale, and the clock is ticking on your chance to call one of them home. Take a look at the fantastic listings below before they’re gone!
