According to an article in the MDJ, Cobb housing permits are up. What do you think? Will we see an increase in building? I’m not hopeful.
January 2010 saw an uptick in the number of home-building permits issued across Cobb County, but builders are still bracing for more foreclosures to flood the market.
There were 64 permits for new single-family homes issued across Cobb in January. The same month a year earlier saw only 27 permits.
Most of the permits, 43, are for unincorporated Cobb. Smyrna had nine; Acworth, eight; Kennesaw, three and Marietta, one. Austell and Powder Springs did not issue any permits in January.
