2025 Housing Market Update: Why Builders Are Begging and Buyers Should Pay Attention

The 2025 housing market isn’t crashing — it’s resetting.

- 57% of new home communities are offering perks like rate buy-downs, closing cost credits, and upgrades.

- New build inventory is at 9.8 months, creating leverage for buyers.

- Builder reps work for the builder, not you — always bring an agent.

Sellers shouldn’t panic. This is a balanced “Goldilocks” market. Strategy, staging, and smart pricing still win.
