Thinking about building a home? What You should know

If you’re ready to move up, you may be trying to decide whether you want to buy a home that’s already on the market or build a new one. And since the supply of homes available for sale today is low, you’re willing to consider either avenue. While home builders are doing everything they can to construct more houses and help narrow the supply shortage, they’re also occasionally facing delays due to factors which may be outside of their control.

A good way to help you to navigate these unprecedented supply chain and labor shortages that could be occurring in the housing market, is to work with a professional Realtor – like Ebersole & Kelley Real Estate Team / Coldwell Banker Sea Coast  Advantage: Carolina Beach – and to do some homework.

The news was pretty dire in 2021, as the supply chain and skilled labor were recovering from and adjusting in the post COVID-19 Pandemic era.  Resources are improving now according to a recent article on the National Association of Home Builders, website.  There may still be a few challenges out there when you decide to build rather than buy, but the positives may outweigh the negatives for you.

When you know what’s happening in the industry, you can make an informed decision on whether to look for a newly built or an existing home in your home search.
