D.R. Horton lot costs rise 5 percent

Rick Palacios Jr. points out that land prices are often difficult to track due to a lack of transparent data. He refers to earnings commentary from D.R. Horton indicating that lot costs rose 5% year over year in the quarter, which he states aligns with findings from a recent residential land survey.

Palacios has previously detailed the methodology behind the Burns Under/Overpriced Market Index, which measures the spread between current and intrinsic home values here. In a separate report, he noted that Austin's single-family rent growth remains negative year-over-year but has shown steady improvement here. These findings provide additional context for his observations on land and lot costs.
