New Construction Homes

New construction homes are in higher demand than they have been in the last decade. Surprisingly, the only downfall with the splurge of new construction homes is supply and demand. The majority of new construction homes that have been purchased since May of 2020 had not yet been started, so builders are scrambling to keep up. Even though the interest and purchases are higher, the builders are working on catching up and recovering from the shutdown earlier this year.

As many American’s are currently facing remote work, the need for a bigger home that provides an office space has played a huge role in the housing market. With new construction homes, builders and designers have factored in the need for space and buyers are able to plan in the space they need.  

Existing Homes

New Construction homes aren’t the only homes that are seeing action in the real estate world. Existing homes are continuing to thrive and selling at a faster rate than many professionals projected. As mentioned above, many people are searching for homes with great space that allows for easy remote work capabilities, and thus, are choosing to search for homes that may provide the space they need.
