Is New Construction the Way to Go?

Why New Construction is Offering the Best Deals Right Now

If you’ve been watching the housing market and wondering when the right time to buy might be, you may have noticed something interesting—new construction homes are offering incredible incentives, while resale home prices remain high. Why is that?

🔹 Builders operate on volume, not emotion. They have inventory that needs to move, and instead of sitting on unsold homes, they adjust by offering incentives like interest rate buydowns, closing cost assistance, and price reductions.

🔹 Homeowners don’t have the same urgency. Many sellers locked in low mortgage rates and aren’t willing to negotiate much—so even though the market is softening, resale prices remain high.

🔹 Interest rate incentives make a huge difference. Some builders are offering rates as low as 2.99% for the first few years, which dramatically reduces monthly payments compared to a standard 7% rate on a resale home.

So, what does this mean for you as a buyer? There are real opportunities in new construction right now, but only if you know where to look. Not every builder is offering the same deals, and navigating their incentives takes experience.
