Think new homes always cost more? Not right now.

The latest data shows the median price of a newly built home is actually over $30K less than an existing one.

That’s because builders are adjusting prices and offering serious incentives to move inventory. It’s also because builders have been focusing on smaller homes lately.

If price was the reason you ruled out new construction, it might be time for another look. Want to see what’s available near you? Let’s chat.

Home appraisals are a crucial part of the buying and selling process. An appraiser’s job is to provide an unbiased estimate of a home’s value, usually on behalf of the lender. They assess things like the property’s square footage, condition, location, updates, and comparable recent sales. A low appraisal can impact loan approval and negotiations, while a high one can provide peace of mind. Preparing the home - cleaning up, making small repairs - can help make a positive impression during the visit.
