Just like it did in 2014.
We saw significant growth in 2012 and more in 2013. In 2014, we had quieter, nominal gains, but its sustainable, said Matt Wilson, a broker associate with Coquina Real Estate and Construction in Flagler Beach.
I expect things to stay the course, said Wilson, 2015 president of the Flagler County Association of Realtors. Its a market we can live with. Were not having the wild rides up and painful falls (of the past).
Permits for new homes locally plunged in 2011, falling to less than 1/12th the total in 2005.
New home construction in the Volusia-Flagler area picked up in 2012, with a 51 percent gain in permits issued. That accelerated in 2013 with a 70 percent increase.
In the first 11 months of 2014, 1,599 permits for new homes were issued in the two counties, a 7.3 percent gain over the same period the previous year.
But as much as new home construction activity has increased, it remains well below the 2005 peak when Volusia-Flagler area builders pulled 8,403 permits.
Sandy Burke Bishop, executive director of the Volusia Building Industry Association, expects growth in the New Year to be at about the same rate as in 2014.
Were not looking at a blazing, crackling fire, but 2015 should be steadily, although slowly, improving, Bishop said. We are happy with the goal of a sustainable pace.

DALLAS (CBS 11 NEWS) - Too few people to build too many homes. The housing market continues to boom in North Texas, but builders have seen a severe shortage of skilled and unskilledworkers in the last couple of years.
Many blame the oil and gas industry for offering higher pay opportunities that home builders cant meet.
But with oil hitting a five year low, the concern now turns to job loss and the potential economic slow down in Texas, where 15 percent of the economy is tied to energy.
Bud Weinstein is the Associate Director of the Maguire Energy Institute at SMUs Cox School of Business. He thinks if prices stay in the $55-$60 a barrel range, the Texas housing market could see an impact in the next six months, especially in Houston or Midland-Odessa, where the local economies are closely tied to oil.
However, Weinstein says its less likely North Texass housing market will take a hit. Corporate relocations and other industries are helping grow the DFW area.
As Vice President of the Texas Association of Home Builders, Tim Jackson sees a positive result of the oil slow down: the potential for laborers lost to oil jobs to return to home building.
Danny White, a construction manager for Tim Jackson Custom Homes, explains:
If we had more labor, we could build the houses quicker. Right now were having about a 20 percent delay in the time it takes to build a house. Our workers are so busy, and its hard finding people to do the jobs, White said.
Jackson estimates thousands of labors have relocated from home construction to work in the oil field.

You wouldnt expect one of New Englands latest and most intriguing skiing ventures to hail from East Boston, where skiers and riders would normally flock only to catch a flight to winter playgrounds in the Rocky and Sierra Mountains.
Yet it is here, just past Logan Airport and along the Chelsea River, tucked into a small space located at the rear of a Planet Fitness along Route 1A, where Parlor, a custom ski building company founded by a trio of locals, has set up its burgeoning alpine business, complete with in-shop canine mascots, a fresh case of Narragansett in the corner of the workroom, and an ingrained passion for creating and enhancing customizable skiing experiences.
Born in a Cambridge funeral home six years ago, Parlor (www.parlorskis.com) is the brainchild of three former classmates and ski team members at Williams College, who honed their skills for racing and construction into a business quite unique to New England. By creating skis specific to each customers needs, Parlor hopes to make its name as a local outlet in a boutique ski market that, to this point, had been mostly focused entirely in the western U.S.
We saw an opportunity in New England to become New Englands custom ski builder, co-founder Mark Wallace said. There are a lot of companies out west and there are a few smaller companies out here, but nobody is really focusing on the terrain that we have here and also really being able to build a manufacturing process around building skis to order and customizing skis to order for New England.
Unlike some other custom ski companies, Parlor doesnt outsource its work, which is all done on premises in East Boston, from the shaping of the aspen or maple wooden cores, to feeding the press (the process of curing the epoxy between every layer of the ski). Its a hands-on process fueled by joint passions for skiing and building that instills versatility into every ski they create.
Its very unique to New England, that was also one of the things that inspired it, co-founder Jason Epstein said. We just kind of saw a void here and it seemed like a good opportunity to offer that product and that same kind of culture around it, a custom ski company, but something that really speaks directly to New Englanders.
The idea started as many tend to - over a couple beers, when Epstein tried to convince Wallace that it was possible to make high-quality, small-batch skis with a focus on the region in which they were being manufactured. In New England, that particularly meant a ski that could handle the icy, cruddy, and typically unpredictable conditions, but one that could also hold its own in deeper powder found in Colorado and Utah.
It really just started as a hobby, Epstein said. Through our skiing experiences, we just have a really good idea of what kinds of skis we like and how different ski designs work. The three of us all had a passion for hands-on projects, we all worked in the construction development industry in different ways, so we just have an eye and a passion for design.
Wallace, who spent some time after graduation skiing competitively on the NorAm circuit, was sold, and a couple days later, he and Epstein were at Home Depot with the intent of creating their initial molds in Epsteins Cambridge basement. Soon, thereafter, the old funeral home opened up, and a name was born.
There was a little bit of back-and-forth around the name, because we wanted something that represented us being a New England ski brand, Wallace said. The fact that we were in a parlor, and a parlor has a sort of homey feeling and a community feeling, that tied in with the interest story of it being a funeral parlor. That sort of ended up resonating for us.
