Survey: Buyers More Likely To Buy Existing Homes Vs. New Construction

By
Real Estate Agent with RE/MAX Professional Associates

Many people believe that when it comes to real estate, buyers want something brand new. But according to a recent report, the vast majority of buyers end up purchasing existing homes.

According to the New Construction Consumer Housing Trends Report 2018, only 38% of buyers in 2018 even considered purchasing new construction. And the percentage that ended up buying a brand new home? Only 11%.

The Takeaway

If you’ve been thinking about selling your house, now is a great time to make a move. With 89% of buyers ultimately purchasing existing homes, your property is exactly what a huge portion of buyers are looking for.

I think most buyers would rather have a NEW home. Problem: they cost more. Problem: there are fewer of them.

Problem: we still lack adequate inventory of new construction and resale homes to meet buyer demand...even tho there are more homes on the market now.
