Why New Construction is the Smart Choice in Today’s Market


If you’re shopping for a home, you’ve probably noticed something surprising: new construction homes are now priced closer to used homes than ever before, but they come with far more value. While new homes typically come with a premium price, the gap between new and existing home prices has narrowed significantly. This is largely due to an increase in inventory for new construction and continued low supply of existing homes.

According to the National Association of Home Builders, “during the first quarter of 2025, the median sales price of a new home was just $14,600 more than that of an existing one.” That’s a modest gap compared to historical norms, down from a $64,200 difference in late 2022. With that narrow margin, the benefits of buying new have never been more compelling. New homes offer exclusive builder incentives like rate buydowns, closing cost assistance, and move-in-ready upgrades—advantages you won’t find with resale homes. You’ll also enjoy the peace of mind that comes with a comprehensive builder warranty and the efficiency and functionality of modern design and construction. In today’s market, a new home isn’t just a better choice. It’s a smarter investment. Let’s explore the possibilities and find a new home that fits your lifestyle, budget, and future!

Our family recently purchased a move in ready home from Creative Homes and we absolutely love it. The design and quality of the home was done with great attention to detail. The staff, in all phases of our purchase, was amazingly accommodating and professional. I would recommend Creative to anyone who is looking to move into a new house or build a new house!

Wow! It's hard to know where to even start and I know I won't be able to list everything, but I have to try and tell you how we awesome we feel about the whole building process with Creative Homes and how much we truly love our new home. The process of building with Creative Homes was the most relaxing (sounds weird, but so true!) home building experience we have ever been through. The communication provided from the very start until the very end has been phenomenal. Not once during the whole process did we ever sit and wonder what was going on regarding our home.  I honestly wish I could name everyone behind the scenes at Creative Homes who works so hard to make customers like us have such an awesome home building experience. This company has the standards and employees that all companies should take note of and follow the example of.
