New Construction vs Resale Raleigh: The Truth About Cost
New construction vs resale Raleigh is a pricing question disguised as a lifestyle question. Builders fund advertised rate buydowns by holding home prices firm, and because a builder controls the comparable sales in an active subdivision, future price cuts on unsold lots can erode an earlier buyer’s equity with no contractual protection. Kevin Martini and Logan Martini of Martini Mortgage Group show Raleigh and Wake County buyers how to separate the price from the rate before signing, using current Freddie Mac and Doorify MLS data rather than a builder’s payment illustration. The strongest deals in today’s Triangle market are frequently resale homes with motivated sellers, not builder incentives.
