Few new starter homes in my (non-trendy) city. However, once builders started working again around '12, they started putting up both McMansions and spectacularly ugly apartment buildings (partially fills the role of the starter home, I guess, in that at least it's a place to live, if not a stepping stone to financial stability, so should take pressure off the market) at a crazy-fast pace. Construction everywhere, constantly. Downtown? New several new or converted high-rise apartment buildings. Just off downtown? Tons of new ugly-ass mid-rise apartment buildings in that new style everyone's using. 'Burbs? New and developing McMansion-filled neighborhoods everywhere, and a ton more of those same ugly apartment buildings.

Doesn't seem to have done much to keep housing prices under control, and houses still sell so fast that you blink and a new listing will be gone. We can't possibly be a major location for internal migration—not like cities in California or Texas or anything of that sort—so IDK what's up with that. My 20ish year old McMansion has increased in value about 30% over the last two years, and was already way up from just a few years earlier. WTF.
