Median price per square foot for new construction has dipped to $205, just under the $212 mark for existing homes. That\u2019s not just a national trend\u2014it\u2019s showing up in about a third of major U.S. markets and flipping the old script, where new builds usually came at a premium.<\/p>\n<p>Builders have gotten more competitive, dropping prices and tossing in incentives\u2014especially in areas where there\u2019s been a lot of construction and inventory is higher. If you\u2019re hunting for a home in a well-supplied neighborhood, you might find the room to negotiate on new construction is the best it\u2019s been in a while.<\/p>\n<p>From my perspective, the big picture is clear: when we add more homes, we open the door to better affordability for everyone. Of course, slower permitting could put a kink in those gains, but for now, it\u2019s smart to keep new builds firmly on your radar. In a market that rewards strategy and straight talk, sometimes the newest options turn out to be the strongest value.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I\u2019ve seen plenty of shifts in the market over two decades, but here\u2019s one that stands out: for the first time in years, new homes are actually offering more value than resale properties nationwide.
