For these seven builders, net orders were up 19.9% year-over-year. Although cancellations are handled differently, this is about the same year-over-year increase for Q1 as for New Home sales as reported by the Census Bureau.
The average closing price is only up slightly this year following a sharp increase in 2014.
From Tom Lawler:
Net orders per active community for the seven builders combined were up 13.5% YOY, while their combined order backlog at the end of March was up 13.8% YOY.
