Builder Incentives Reach 5-Year High
Even with more homes on the market right now, some buyers are still having a tough time finding the right one at the right price. Maybe the layout feels off. Maybe it still needs some updating. Or maybe itās just more of the same.
Thatās why more buyers are turning to new construction ā and finding some of the best deals available today.
Why? Today, many builders have more homes that are finished and sitting on the market than normal. And that means theyāre motivated to sell. Theyāre running a business, and they donāt want to sit on their inventory. They want to sell it before they build more homes. And that can definitely work in your favor.
