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) | 20 | $544,450 | $351 | 62 | 98.3% | 13 |
| Resale (built 2015 or later) | 0 | — | — | — | — | 1 |
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 detached – front garage specs closer to the $299/sq ft new homes have actually sold for, not today’s $326 asking level. 3 specs in this product are competing with each other and with resale.
Semi-detached / duplex supply
Semi-detached / duplex has 6.9 months of supply: 4 listed against 7 sales in a year. Specs in this product need a sharper price or a stronger incentive to stand out.
The $600K+ band
The $600K+ band has 15 months of supply: 5 homes for sale against 4 sales in a year. Specs priced here compete hardest; price toward the band below or add value buyers can see.
Timing
Quarterly sales over the past year ran 3 → 7 → 6 → 4. Winter is the slowest stretch; specs finishing over the winter should be listed and photographed before possession so they’re ready for the spring market.

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
