Record sales in Pinecrest represents the increased demand for new construction in South Florida overall. There has been a shortage of building materials, as production decreases in factories due to the partial opening or complete shutdown of mills due to the pandemic. Martinez has seen this firsthand, noting that there are shortages on plywood, metals, concrete and appliances. Developers are increasing prices to cover the increased cost and builders and developers note that building costs are rapidly increasing while shortages remain causing completion delays.
