Real Estate Market Celebrates Statistics Which Indicate a Buyer’s Market
Real Estate Showing Buyer’s Market
In general, the real estate market seems to be turning more into a buyer’s market than a seller’s market – an indicator that the housing market continues its steady, slow rebound since the Recession. New home buyers have cause for optimism with the increase in standing new home inventory which was upwardly revised for the month
of March from 205,000 in March, 2015, to 246,000 new homes this year. Currently, new home inventory stands at a 5.8 month’s supply.
Competitive Home Pricing
With the increase of available homes, new home pricing and existing home pricing are now competitively arranged in the housing market, making builders’ new homes for sale just as attractive price-wise as existing home pricing. This trend of available new homes for sale is expected to continue as in the month of Market, there are approximately 149,000 new homes under constructions and 41,000 single-family homes that will be constructed according to the record of building permits throughout the country. The building industry reported 56,000 move-in ready homes on the market ready to be closed.
New home pricing has also stabilized compared to new homes for sale in March, 2015. The current new home 
median sales price is $288,000 where it was around $293,400 in 2015. Overall, new home pricing gained in a year-over-year comparison, with homes in the $200,000 – $300,000 price range rising by 20% in comparison.
As new home inventory exponentially increases, and a high number of new homes “flood” the real estate market, new home sales are expected to increase in the months ahead as home buyers can expect to see a large variety of different floorplans, features, and upgrades available to them in making a choice of buying their new home for sale. Some buyers may choose to build their new home from scratch with a custom home builder such as Ron Lee Homes in St. Tammany Parish.
