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) | 17 | $699,000 | $350 | 74 | 98.1% | 13 |
| Resale (built 2015 or later) | 15 | $585,000 | $371 | 51 | 98.0% | 4 |
| Difference (new vs resale) | — | +$114,000 | −$21 | +23 days | +0.1 pts | — |
New and resale homes differ in size and finish (median 1,458 sq ft resale vs 1,860 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
New semi-detached / duplex specs are asking about $373/sq ft, in line with the $370/sq ft new homes have sold for. Pricing is not the main obstacle here; presentation and incentives decide which spec sells first.
Product
Detached – front garage is the tightest product. 14 sold in 12 months with 3 listed now (2.6 months of supply). If your plans include detached product, now is a good time to bring one to market.
Semi-detached / duplex supply
Semi-detached / duplex has 13.2 months of supply: 11 listed against 10 sales in a year. Specs in this product need a sharper price or a stronger incentive to stand out.
The under-$600K band
The under-$600K band has 9 months of supply: 10 homes for sale against 14 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 8 → 13 → 8 → 3. 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
