Do you think buying a brand-new home is going to cost way more than an existing one? You should know that’s not necessarily true – especially right now.

According to the latest data, newly built homes are actually selling for less than existing ones. Why? Builders are offering smaller floor plans, price cuts, and incentives to attract today’s budget-conscious buyers.

You might be able to get a modern, move-in ready home for less than you think.

Let’s talk about what’s available and see if a newly built home could be a smart move for you.

One of the biggest mistakes you can make right now is overpricing your house. But unfortunately, some sellers are doing just that.

This graph shows the gap between what homes are being listed for and what they’re actually selling for.

Notice anything? The gap is widening.

That’s happening because the market isn’t as competitive as it used to be. Buyers have more choices now, so they’re taking their time and being more selective. As a result, some sellers are having to lower their price or make other adjustments to attract serious buyers.

But here’s the good news. Homes that are priced right can still sell fast. And you’ve likely built up so much equity the past few years, you’ll still be in a great spot profit-wise – even if you price it a few thousand lower than you originally thought.

You just need an agent’s help to find that pricing sweet spot. Let’s work together to set a smart price that fits today’s market.

Adjustable-rate mortgages (ARMs) can offer lower upfront payments. That’s why more buyers are giving them a second look these days.

But with an ARM, once the fixed period ends, your rate can change – which means your monthly payment will too. And there’s a chance it goes up. So, you need to be financially prepared for that.

And just in case the 2008 crash comes to mind when you think of ARMs, know this: today’s ARMs are different. Lending standards are tighter now.

If you think an ARM might be right for you, make sure to talk with a lender to understand your options and assess your risk tolerance.
