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) | 8 | $635,000 | $373 | 62 | 97.5% | 9 |
| Resale (built 2015 or later) | 26 | $593,750 | $408 | 27 | 98.1% | 10 |
| Difference (new vs resale) | — | +$41,250 | −$34 | +34 days | −0.6 pts | — |
New and resale homes differ in size and finish (median 1,475 sq ft resale vs 1,746 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 detached – front garage specs closer to the $312/sq ft new homes have actually sold for, not today’s $341 asking level. 4 specs in this product are competing with each other and with resale.
Product
Semi-detached / duplex is the tightest product. 8 sold in 12 months with 1 listed now (1.5 months of supply). If your plans include semi-detached product, now is a good time to bring one to market.
Apartment condo supply
Apartment condo has 13.5 months of supply: 9 listed against 8 sales in a year. Specs in this product need a sharper price or a stronger incentive to stand out.
The $400K–$499K band
The $400K–$499K band has 21 months of supply: 7 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 6 → 9 → 10 → 8. 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.

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
