\"Why<\/p>\n

If you put a pause on your home search because you weren\u2019t sure where you\u2019d go once you sold your house<\/a>, it might be a good time to get back into the market. If you\u2019re willing to work with a trusted agent to consider a newly built home, you may have even more options and incentives than you realize. That may be why the National Association of Home Builders<\/em> (NAHB) says<\/a> the share of buyers looking for new construction is increasing:<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

\u201cAccording to the quarterly Housing Trends Report, the popularity of new construction homes is continuing to rebound . . .\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Here\u2019s a few reasons more buyers may be drawn to newly built homes.<\/p>\n

More Options To Choose from and Potential Builder Incentives<\/strong><\/h4>\n

When looking for a home, you can choose between existing homes (those that are already built and previously owned) and newly constructed ones. While the inventory of existing homes has increased this year, it\u2019s still below<\/a> more typical years like 2019. Currently, according to the National Association of Realtors<\/em> (NAR), there is a 3.2-month supply<\/a> at the current sales pace. For reference, a roughly 6-month supply is considered a balanced market, leaving us in a sellers\u2019 market today.<\/p>\n

While it\u2019s a smaller segment of the overall inventory of homes for sale, the supply of newly built homes has grown even more. The National Association of Home Builders <\/em>(NAHB) explains<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cNew single-family home inventory remained elevated at a 9.2 months\u2019 supply (of varying stages of construction).<\/strong> A measure near a 6 months\u2019 supply is considered balanced.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Here\u2019s why this matters for you. While you have more homes to choose from in either category, there\u2019s one extra benefit of newly built homes. Because the inventory of newly built homes has grown so much, builders are motivated to sell their properties before they build more. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Back in the housing crash of 2008<\/a>, builders were building too many homes, and that oversupply is part of what contributed to the housing bubble bursting. Now, builders don\u2019t want to have a surplus of inventory in their pipeline, and many are offering buyers incentives to help move that inventory along. As Doug Duncan, Chief Economist at Fannie Mae<\/em>, explains<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201c. . . a continual increase in the number of completed homes available for sale is now occurring, with the inventories of such homes now at the highest level since July 2020. . . . This suggests to us that builders may be increasingly willing to offer more aggressive incentives and discounts to maintain sales of completed inventory.\u201d<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

While specifics will vary by builder and market, some buyers are seeing builders reduce prices and offer incentives. To find out what\u2019s available in your area, lean on a trusted real estate professional.<\/p>\n

Lifestyle Benefits of Buying a Newly Built Home<\/strong><\/h4>\n

In addition to more supply and the potential for builder incentives, newly built homes have various benefits that may suit your lifestyle. For example, you likely won\u2019t have as many little repairs to tackle, like leaky faucets, shutters to paint, and other odd jobs around the house. That can free up time for you to do other things you\u2019re passionate about.<\/p>\n

Another perk of a new home is that nothing in the house is used. It\u2019s brand new and uniquely yours from day one. You\u2019ll have all new appliances, windows, roofing, and more. These things can help lower your energy costs, which can add up to significant savings over time. You may even have the latest and greatest technology features built into your new home.<\/p>\n

Builder<\/em> sums<\/a> up why some buyers today are turning to newly built homes:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cFor some, it\u2019s the lure of something new and modern. For others, it\u2019s the move-in ready experience. And now there\u2019s another factor to consider when making this decision: technology.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

If any of these benefits appeal to you, it\u2019s time to connect with a trusted real estate advisor to learn more.<\/p>\n

Bottom Line<\/strong><\/h3>\n
