Housing markets across the U.S. are booming with high demand and low inventory, and it’s sent land prices into a frenzy.
Land is a hot commodity right now, as the lack of homes for sale continues to push affordable housing out of reach for many first-time homebuyers and low-wage workers.
According to a report by the National Association of Realtors (NAR), the U.S. fell short of an estimated 5.5 million new units from 2001 to 2020 compared to 1968 to 2000. When the housing boom cemented last year, supply began severely underserving demand.
“When housing demand really accelerated in May, June and July of last year with historically low interest rates, the industry couldn’t simply turn on a dime and suddenly build 30 percent more than they were a quarter, or a year ago,” Robert Dietz, a chief economist at the National Association of Home Builders, told Inman.

But conservationists and environmentalists in Brown County and surrounding areas have been thinking about policies and educational programs to preserve the expensive, 12-year cleanup of the Fox River, and many are looking toward regulating pesticides, herbicides, fertilizers and other chemical-rich agriculture products that have long devastated natural ecosystems.
