The Challenges of Buying New Construction Now

By Leave a Comment

…and how a good real estate agent can help.

Challenges of buying a new construction home.

It’s no secret that buying a house right now can be a challenge. Inventory is down, prices are up and sellers are firmly in the driver’s seat. For these reasons, and more, many buyers are looking toward new construction as an easier, more reliable path to getting the home they want/need.

Unfortunately, that’s not always the case.

Home builders are, after all, sellers first and foremost. They’re focused on their bottom lines and, to be fair, are faced with some challenges of their own. Supply chain issues, inventory costs/shortages, retaining good workers/employees…these are real issues they have to deal with every day. As such, many builders have had to tweak their normal processes in response to the market. And that means that buyers may have to adjust their expectations, and approach, when trying to purchase a new construction home.

Nocatee Housing Stats, January 2022

By Leave a Comment

A quick look at what happened in the Nocatee housing market in January.

Nocatee housing market stats

In Context

To add a little context to the graphic above:

  • Six of the 14 new listings were new construction (though builders do have more inventory not in MLS)
  • 23 of the 54 sold listings were marked as new construction
  • Average number of days on market for sold listings was approximately 13 (though that data is likely slightly skewed, as some new construction sales are entered as 0 days on market)

Key Points

  • Inventory continues to be tight, even as builders try to keep up with demand
  • It’s still a seller’s market, and likely will be for the near future
  • It’s difficult, though not impossible, to buy in Nocatee for less than $500,000
  • Now more than ever, it’s important to have a knowledgeable agent to help guide you through the buying or selling process, e.g., dealing with multiple offers, negotiating/working with builders & finding the home you want in a competitive and somewhat sparse market

Zillow Shutters Zillow Offers, it’s Direct Home Buying Division

By Leave a Comment

What it means for home sellers and buyers

Home Buyers and Sellers

Zillow jumped into the direct home buying space in 2018. The company joined a number of ibuying startups like Opendoor and Offerpad. But recently, the company announced it would shutter its Zillow Offers direct home buying division.

Buying and selling homes directly certainly seemed like a smart play for the company. Zillow has strong awareness among consumers, and a trove of homes sales data gleaned from public records, Multiple Listing Services (MLSs) and user-submitted information. These data are what make up the company’s ubiquitous Zestimates, its proprietary automated home valuation model. We can only assume these Zestimates were the primary data point being used when the company made an offer to purchase a home.

Sounds like a slam dunk for Zillow. So what went wrong? A couple of assumptions:
