How Long Does It Take to Build a New Home? 🏡 If you're thinking about building, the timeline depends on the type of home and how much customization is involved:

🏗️ Production Build: 6–12 months
🛠️ Semi-Custom: 8–14 months
📐 Fully Custom: 12–24+ months

And remember, construction isn't the whole timeline. Finding land, designing the home, permitting, site preparation, material availability, and weather can all add time before or during construction.

The more customized the project, the more flexibility you'll want in your timeline. And as always, planning ahead can help make the building process much smoother from start to finish.

The latest local market numbers are showing a clear shift as we head into fall.

August brought a stronger than usual seasonal cool down across much of the region, with prices declining from July in King County, Seattle, and the Eastside while inventory remained well above last year’s levels. Buyers are gaining more leverage, with fewer homes selling above asking and more requiring price adjustments before finding a buyer. The Eastside saw inventory climb 46% year over year, while Snohomish County remained the tightest of the four markets with 2.9 months of supply. For buyers, that can mean more choices and greater negotiating power. For sellers, pricing and presentation are becoming increasingly important.

Take a look at the September Local Market Update for the latest numbers and what they could mean for your next move.

August delivered a clear signal that our local markets are moving through their seasonal cool-down, though this year’s pullback landed harder than usual. Median prices dropped from July across three of our four areas, and more sharply than typical in August, likely a combination of the season’s ...

August offered a more balanced market for buyers and sellers on the Eastside. The median sold price was $1,445,721, and while that was lower than both July and last August, 65% of homes still sold within 30 days. With 3.5 months of inventory and a 6.76% 30-year mortgage rate, the market is giving buyers more choices without bringing activity to a standstill. If you’re wondering whether now is the right time to make a move, I’m here to help you weigh the options.

New Build vs. Custom Home - where does your money go? 🏡Here’s the quick breakdown:

🏗️ New Build
• Home + lot
• Upgrades and finishes
• Appliances and fixtures
• Landscaping and other finishing touches

🛠️ Custom Home
• Land
• Architecture and design
• Permits and site preparation
• Materials, finishes, and custom features

The takeaway: A new build typically offers more convenience and predictability, while a custom home gives you more control over the final result. The right choice depends on how much flexibility, customization, and involvement you want in the process. Which one is right for you?

In the latest Local Look, Jeff Tucker explores the numbers behind this shift and what buyers should know heading into fall. Take a look at the full update.
