Many buyers assume that new construction always comes with a higher price tag. Right now, that’s not the case. Builders are offering smaller floor plans, incentives, and competitive prices—sometimes below comparable existing homes. At Corken + Company, we help clients tap into this opportunity, guiding you to the right new homes and terms that fit your goals.
Why New Construction Is Becoming More Affordable
Smaller floor plans
Builders are offering smaller homes to reduce material and labor costs. With fewer square feet, prices are more digestible—especially compared to larger, older homes .
Builder incentives
About one-third of builders have cut prices by an average of 5 percent, and over 60 percent are offering incentives like closing help or rate buydowns . That can equate to tens of thousands in savings.
Price alignment with existing homes
New home median prices have dropped below those of existing homes—making new construction a realistic and even economical alternative .
What This Means for Buyers
-
Modern features and systems: New homes often include updated appliances, energy-efficient windows, and builder warranties.
-
Lower maintenance costs: You’ll avoid large updates for 10–15 years—no need to budget for roof, HVAC, or plumbing replacements anytime soon .
-
Customization potential: You can select finishes and upgrades before move-in, giving your home a personalized feel from day one.
