🏡 Hidden Deals in Plain Sight: Why a Brand-New Home Might Be Your Best Bet Right Now! 🔑

By: Phonicia Palmer

If you’re dreaming of homeownership but feeling stuck because of high prices or mortgage rates, here’s some good news—you might just find what you’re looking for in a place most buyers are ignoring: new construction homes! 🎉

Yup, that’s right. While everyone else is racing to buy older homes, the best deals might be waiting in a brand-new neighborhood near you.

🏘️ There Are More New Homes Than You Think

Did you know that about 1 in 5 homes for sale right now is a new build? That means for every five houses you scroll past, one is shiny, untouched, and freshly built just for someone like you.

That’s a big chunk of the market most buyers are missing. If you’ve been skipping over new homes because you think they’re too expensive—think again!

💰 Builders Are Slashing Prices

Right now, home builders are feeling the pressure to sell. Why? Because more homes are being built, and they need to make room for the next round.

And guess what? Nearly 40% of builders recently dropped their prices to get more buyers in the door.

This is where it gets exciting… 👀

Because builders are more motivated than ever, they’re open to negotiation. That means you might be able to get more house for less money than you’d expect—especially with the right real estate agent by your side (hey, Phonicia Palmer here in Louisiana 😉).

📉 Better Mortgage Rates? Yes, Please!

Here’s a secret most people don’t know:

New homes often come with lower mortgage rates than older homes. Say what?! 😲

How? Builders are offering what’s called a rate buydown—which basically means they’re helping cover the cost to lower your interest rate. That means smaller monthly payments and more savings over time. 💸

It’s their way of making their homes more attractive and keeping sales strong in a slower market.
