One thing’s for sure: the current perception of the real estate market is all over the place. One outlet says it’s cooling off; another says bidding wars are hotter than ever, and many people are simply unsure of what to expect next.
In a market that feels anything but predictable, new construction can alleviate much of the unknown. If you’re thinking of buying new, here’s what you should know. Read on!
A Narrowing Gap Between New Construction and Resale
Historically, new construction homes have been pricier than existing homes. This year, we’ve seen this gap narrow significantly.
Into the Numbers
According to the National Association of Home Builders, the typical new home price was less than 4% higher than the price of an existing home in Q1 of 2025. For comparison, in 2013, new homes cost 36% more than existing ones!
Varying Markets Across the Country
Inventory in the South and in the West has increased with new construction, particularly in Florida and Texas. If you’re looking for a place in these areas, Taylor Morrison has options across each of the states.
