Indiana Builders Association responds to high of single-family permit pulls in September

INDIANAPOLIS (Oct. 29, 2020) “Indiana single-family permits are continuing to show strong gains as we head in to the fall season. With new single-family construction numbers we haven’t seen in 10 plus years and historic lows in interest rates, pursuing the American dream of owning a home remains an attractive venture for many Hoosiers. The home building industry is an important driver in the national economy, and IBA will continue to work to keep housing attainable at every price point,” said Indiana Builders Association CEO Rick Wajda.
