Three things builders should know
Community snapshot
New build vs resale
| Segment | Sales | Median price | Median $/sf | Median DOM | Sale-to-list | Active now |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| New build (never occupied) | 15 | $540,750 | $327 | 50 | 97.6% | 4 |
| Resale (built 2015 or later) | 2 | — | — | — | — | 1 |
New and resale homes differ in size and finish (median 1,721 sq ft resale vs 1,696 sq ft new). Resale here means homes built in 2015 or later, the homes buyers compare a new build to. Compare $/sq ft and days on market, not the overall median price.
What this means for builders
Pricing
Price new semi-detached / duplex specs closer to the $321/sq ft new homes have actually sold for, not today’s $376 asking level. 4 specs in this product are competing with each other and with resale.
Product
Detached – laned is the tightest product. 5 sold in 12 months with none listed now. If your plans include detached product, now is a good time to bring one to market.
Timing
Sales have risen through the year (quarterly sales 3 → 5 → 7). Specs finishing over the winter should be on the market and photographed before possession, ready for the spring push.

Your builder specialist
Cam Johnson
Before real estate, Cam founded and ran a construction company working on building and land development projects. He looks at a spec the way a builder does: the product, the lot, what it costs to carry and what it will take to move it. That’s why these updates are built around the numbers builders use.
- Spec pricing against the resale homes buyers are actually touring
- MLS® marketing, showings and weekly feedback reports
- Move-up buyers who need to sell first: our team handles that sale too, so your deal doesn’t stall
