In an unstable real estate market such as the one we are facing now, not only do REALTORS® have to be more creative in order to sell properties, but new home builders have begun thinking outside of the box as well.

Reduced costs for construction materials can actually make it cheaper to build than to buy an existing home. Meaning that, in addition to the changing face of the new homebuyer demographic, and the desire to “go green,” home builders are offering buyers more options than ever.

Ki Gray shares some insight about this brave new frontier in home construction.

“Since the bottom fell out of the real estate market last year, builders have had to become more creative in order to survive. New construction trends are giving new home construction a shot in the arm. Builders have basically been re-inventing themselves and becoming more clever in their craftsmanship to draw a new audience.

In many development areas where you previously had only two or three designs to choose from, builders are offering ‘the sky’s the limit’ in order to draw new homebuyers.”

From environmentally-friendly “green” houses, to complex wiring for state-of-the-art security and entertainment systems, the face of new home construction is vastly changing.
