North Dakota - Fastest Growing Housing Market in the U.S.

Fastest Growing Housing Market in the U.S.

With the economy booming in North Dakota, there is an extremely low unemployment rate due to the plenty of oil fields. The increase of employment has resulted in a housing shortage and workers often have difficulty finding a place to live.

As a result, housing construction is a booming industry in the North DakotaBakken region.

Construction companies are having an issue keeping up with the growing demand for more homes and the inclement weather. Not only is it difficult to pour concrete or start projects in the winter, it is also difficult to ship supplies or have a construction crew work in cold conditions.

With modular construction, prefabricated homes are built in a climate-controlled factory off-site, ensuring high quality construction while protecting materials and workers from the outdoor elements. This allows modular homes in North Dakota to be built 40 percent faster than traditionally built homes.

Although prefabricated homes are built quickly, there is no sacrifice in quality. Building codes and standards are often met and exceeded. This allows modular homes to withstand the transportation to the site but also the harsh weather in North Dakota.

As North Dakota grows, local politicians and business leaders will need to worry about the influx of people and the lack of affordable Bakken housing. Without a doubt, the problem is not going to disappear; fortunately, with modular housing, one may enjoy a modern and updated home with all the amenities and benefits of a typical house in record time.

Modular North Dakota Homes - Solving the Housing Shortage

Solving the Housing Shortage
Modular North Dakota Homes
As Charles Dickens once wrote, “It was the best of times. It was the worst of times.” Although he was not writing about the oilfield boom in North Dakota, the same can be said for oilfield workers and their employers when it comes to the housing shortage in North Dakota. As oil extraction projects continue to grow and companies continue to hire more staff, the housing and infrastructure in the region is a primary concern.

North Dakota has one of the lowest unemployment rates in the country. Jobs are plentiful due to the thriving oil and gas business in the Bakken shale area. However, the North Dakota housing demand continues to be extremely high. The growing population in this area makes modular homes a perfect housing solution.

Having adequate housing in North Dakota is crucial because of the extreme climate during the winter time. With several months of freezing temperatures there is a much smaller window for the construction of homes in North Dakota and throughout the Bakken region. Site built homes simply take too long and are not the most viable option for meeting the extraordinary demand for housing. Modular construction is a fast and reliable option that is not greatly impacted by weather. Because the majority of construction takes place off-site in a climate controlled factory, projects are completed up to 40% faster with little to no delays caused by weather.

Modular housing provides a safe, sturdy alternative to traditionally built housing in North Dakota. It provides families with an attractive home constructed with many of the same features of a site built home. Today, many modular homes feature granite counter tops, upgraded cabinetry and hardwood floors. Modular homes are a great housing solution for both companies looking to house their employees and families that have relocated to this booming region.
