There’s a real shift happening in new home construction across the U.S.—permits are now 19.4% below pre-pandemic levels, and we’ve seen declines for 44 straight months. Builders are feeling the strain from high costs, rising mortgage rates, and affordability challenges. All of this is feeding into a 4.7 million housing unit deficit nationwide. In my experience here in Paradise Valley, I see firsthand how these numbers play out for buyers and sellers alike—tight inventory and higher barriers don’t just slow down new builds; they change the game for those looking to move or cash out. That’s why I go beyond the old 'list it and wait' approach, using real ARMLS data and creative strategies like seller financing or loan assumptions to help my clients work around today’s roadblocks. Whether you’re navigating these market headwinds or just want to understand your options, it’s all about having a plan—and making sure no opportunity slips through the cracks.
