New real estate construction is important locally because it creates jobs and subcontractor opportunities, and every home sale in Orlando or in the state has an estimated local economic impact of $77,858, according to a 2018 study by the National Association of Realtors. In addition, the housing market often is considered a reflection of the overall health of the local economy.
