For the first time in years, newly built homes are selling for a median of $205 per square foot, coming in below the $212 per square foot for existing homes. This change has appeared in about one-third of major US markets, reversing the trend where new construction usually demanded a premium. Builders are now more open to price reductions and extra incentives, especially in areas where inventory has grown and competition is strong. For buyers\u2014whether you\u2019re a first-timer or looking to upgrade\u2014this means new homes may offer more value and negotiating power than you\u2019d expect, particularly in neighborhoods with ample supply. What stands out here is how increasing the number of available homes continues to be the most effective path to greater affordability, though delays in permitting could slow that progress. I always strive to help my clients weigh every option and find the best fit for their needs\u2014especially as these shifts in the market open up new possibilities.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As someone who\u2019s helped clients across North Jersey navigate both new construction and existing home purchases, I find the recent shift in home values nationwide worth highlighting.
