Homestead freezes residential construction in August 2002 over school capacity and a 70 percent rental to 30 percent owner occupied housing mix. The city lifts the moratorium on 1 July 2003 with new rules: six units an acre, up to ten along bus lines, minimum unit sizes, no duplexes and no stacking of unit types. Land prices are reported to have risen from $25,000 to $175,000 an acre in the preceding years.
