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!

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.
