Do you assume a shiny new home comes with a scary-big price tag? Think again. Something unexpected is happening in today’s housing market—and it’s flipping the script on what buyers think they can afford.
Right now, newly built homes are actually less expensive than many resale homes. Yep, that never-been-lived-in beauty down the street might cost less than the 20-year-old fixer-upper around the corner. Let’s break down why—and why you definitely shouldn’t overlook new construction.
Why New Homes Are Suddenly More Affordable
- Builders Are Going Smaller (on Purpose)
In a market where affordability is tight, builders are making smart moves. Instead of constructing mega-mansions, they’re designing smaller, more efficient homes that cost less to build—and that means lower prices for you.
According to U.S. Census data, the average size of a new single-family home has dropped significantly over the past few years. Smaller homes = fewer materials = smaller price tag. It’s simple math that works in your favor.
2. Builders Are Cutting Prices and Offering Killer Incentives
More than a third of builders recently slashed their prices—by an average of 5%! Why? They want to sell their current inventory fast before they break ground on the next batch.
And it gets better: 61% of builders are throwing in incentives like covering closing costs or helping you score a lower interest rate. These perks can save you thousands, making a brand-new home more budget-friendly than ever.
Think You’d Never Qualify? Think Again
Most people write off new construction thinking it’s out of reach. But between smaller floor plans, builder discounts, and those juicy incentives, you might be shocked at what you can actually afford.
