The real estate market across the country continues to sizzle along with the outdoor temperatures! In June, new homes sales rose to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 592,000, representing an increase of 3.5% compared to May. The numbers include only single-family homes and were reported in data released by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and the U.S. Census Bureau. The month-to-month increase is especially impressive considering May's numbers were revised upward as well.

Everyone has fantasized about building their dream house, but not everyone has considered how long such an endeavor takes. New data from the U.S. Census Bureau's 2015 Survey of Construction may help you find the answer! The report determined that, on average, single-family homes built in 2015 took about seven months to complete, including an entire month just to get the construction permit! However, there were significant differences in timeline between different regions and different building scenarios.

As you know, there's never any shortage of fantastic events happening in and around Hot Springs Village; all you have to do is look!

Each event features a different theme: pay tribute to the past, blend the genres, or relax with the classics. Reserve your place for one, two, or all three today!
