Last year was a boom year for homebuilding across Indiana, and although Noble County didnât see a record spike in new home construction, numbers were up compared to 2019. But with new subdivisions under development, 2021 could shape up to be one of the countyâs best years for new home construction in decades. Despite the pandemic, Noble County saw more new homes in 2020, with the county seeing 121 homes permitted last year. Thatâs up from 97 total homes built in 2019, one of the countyâs slowest years in recent history. The 2020 numbers fell behind the 141 homes permitted in 2018, but beat the 113 homes started in 2017.
