New Construction Boom: Why Now is a Rare Opportunity for Buyers at Tanyard Cove North
Surge in New Construction Inventory: What the Data Shows
The U.S. housing market is seeing the largest surge in new home inventory in over a decade. According to data from the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) and the Census Bureau, the national new home inventory has doubled since 2015. Locally, Anne Arundel County has mirrored this trend, with a sharp increase since 2023 as builders rush to meet buyer demand.

Builders Are Under Pressure to Move Inventory!!!
🏗️ Builders Under Pressure: Incentives and Price Adjustments
Publicly traded builders like Lennar, D.R. Horton, and Pulte are under pressure to meet sales targets amid rising inventories. To stimulate demand, these builders are offering significant incentives:Builder Magazine
-
Price Reductions: Lennar's average sale price dropped 8.6% year-over-year to $389,000. Builder Magazine
-
Mortgage Rate Buydowns: Builders are offering below-market mortgage rates, sometimes below 5%, to attract buyers.
-
Closing Cost Contributions: Significant assistance with closing costs is being provided to ease the financial burden on buyers.
-
Free Upgrades and Flexible Move-In Dates: Additional perks include complimentary upgrades and accommodating move-in schedules.
These incentives are a direct response to current market conditions and are unlikely to last as the market stabilizes, creating increased affordability for homebuyers.

Why Homeowners Can’t Compete by Cutting Prices
Individual sellers rarely have the flexibility or financial appetite to slash prices the way major builders do. Most homeowners rely on equity built up over years, and many owe more on their mortgage than what a steep discount would yield. They’re also not running quarterly earnings reports, so the urgency just isn’t there.
In summary: builders will do what it takes to move new homes, while resale owners typically hold out for the best possible price. That’s why the current wave of builder incentives, discounts, and financing perks is unlikely to last forever.
Builder Incentives at All-Time Highs
As a direct response to rising inventory and longer days on market, builders are sweetening the deal for buyers. You’ll find:
-
Significant closing cost contributions
-
Below-market mortgage rates, sometimes below 5%
-
Free upgrades and flexible move-in dates
-
Limited-time price reductions
This level of generosity is unique to a high-inventory market like we’re seeing today.
