If so, it may be time to consider a newly built home and the benefits that come with one. Here\u2019s why.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Near-Record Percentage of New Home Inventory<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Newly built homes are becoming an increasingly significant part of today\u2019s housing inventory. According to the most recent report from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nahb.org\/news-and-economics\/press-releases\/2023\/12\/new-home-sales-down-in-november-but-should-improve-moving-forward\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><em>National Association of Home Builders<\/em><\/a> (NAHB):<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201c<em>Newly built homes available for sale accounted for 31% of total homes available for sale in November, compared to an approximate 12% historical average.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>That means the percentage of the total homes available to buy that are newly built is well over two times higher than the norm. <\/strong>And even more new homes are on the way. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.census.gov\/construction\/nrc\/pdf\/newresconst.pdf\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Recent\u00a0data<\/a> from the <em>Census<\/em> shows there\u2019s been an uptick in both housing starts (where builders break ground on more new homes) and housing completions (homes where construction just wrapped). <\/p>\n<p>And while some people may worry builders are building too many homes, that isn\u2019t a concern \u2013 if anything, the recent increase is really good news. As Lawrence Yun, Chief Economist at the <em>National Association of Realtors<\/em> (NAR), <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nar.realtor\/magazine\/real-estate-news\/home-sales-start-to-rise-building-momentum-for-2024\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">explains<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>\u201cEven more home building will be needed with the housing shortage persisting in most markets . . . <\/em><strong><em>Another 30% rise in home construction can easily be absorbed in the marketplace<\/em><\/strong><em> . . .\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h4><strong>How This Helps You\u00a0<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Since the supply of existing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.simplifyingthemarket.com\/2023\/12\/18\/why-now-is-still-a-great-time-to-sell-your-house\/?a=407209-0a9a783e881394b596f3c5746f5b9a77\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">homes for sale<\/a> is still low right now, the increase of new-home construction can be a game changer because it gives you more options for your search. <\/p>\n<p>Picture yourself in a home that\u2019s new from the ground up: new appliances, fresh paint, fewer maintenance needs because everything is new, and so much more. Doesn\u2019t that sound nice? <\/p>\n<p>And it may be more within reach than you ever imagined. In addition, some builders are offering things like mortgage rate buy-downs for homebuyers right now. This can help offset today\u2019s affordability challenges while also getting you into your dream home. In a recent article, Patrick Duffy, Senior Real Estate Economist at <em>U.S. News, <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/realestate.usnews.com\/real-estate\/articles\/things-to-know-before-building-a-new-home\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">explains<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>\u201cBuilders have been using mortgage interest rate buydowns for many years as a sales incentive whenever interest rates are relatively high, . . .<\/em><strong><em>Today more builders are offering rate buydowns for the entirety of the loan, allowing buyers to finance more home for the same payment amount<\/em><\/strong><em>.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Just remember, the process of buying from a builder is different from buying from a home seller, so it\u2019s important to partner with a trusted <a href=\"https:\/\/www.simplifyingthemarket.com\/2023\/12\/21\/sell-smarter-why-working-with-a-real-estate-agent-may-beat-going-solo\/?a=407209-0a9a783e881394b596f3c5746f5b9a77\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">real estate agent<\/a> who knows the local market.
