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

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!

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.

We recently moved into our new home built by Creative Homes and we absolutely love it! The attention to detail and quality throughout is first class! We've received so many compliments from people who have seen it. From start to finish we received top notch customer service that went above and beyond any expectations. We absolutely recommend Creative Homes to anyone considering a build. You'll be glad you did!

Great experience from start to finish! Derek and Jeff were awesome to work with and provided great communication, customer service and were passionate about building a high quality home we would be proud to own in the end. Third home built from the ground up and by far the best experience we had! Would recommend Creative Homes to others searching for a home builder who cares about their clients.

We really had a great home building experience with Creative. Our home was completed on schedule and they worked closely with us on every aspect of the project. Our site supervisor was incredible – he was catching things before we even noticed them and had them remedied quickly and to our standards. Overall, we would highly recommend Creative and would build with them again in the future.
