“We're still in an affordability crisis,” Katie Hubbard says, with Existing Home Sales hitting the lowest in “30 years.” She thinks it will be “difficult” to get mortgage rates down to 6%, which would bring “about 160 thousand people” into the market as buyers. Over the next three years, she expects “3% price appreciation every single year.” The Midwest is seeing an “acceleration” in buying, while the coasts are seeing a drop. However, she notes that New Home Sales are cheaper because of builders pushing down prices.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

Send us a textWelcome back to our New Home Value series. So far, Rick has covered why buyers are choosing new construction, how agents bring value to the process, and how to generate more leads through new home communities. But in Part 4, we're digging into something that separates the occasional sale from a thriving career: how to build a long-term, sustainable new-home sales business.The truth is, success in this space comes down to two key ingredients: relationships and consistency.Strong relationships with builder reps and developers are the backbone of your credibility.

I'll share the exact weekly, monthly, and annual action items you need to stay relevant and visible in the new-home market. I'll even cover what to say when visiting builder reps—so you're not just showing up, but showing up prepared.If you're ready to get off the real estate roller coaster and start building a business that compounds over time, this episode is your roadmap.https://rickfullerinc.com/new-build/How to Build a Long-Term Real Estate Business with New-Home Communities for Agents BlogNew-Home Sales Business Checklist for AgentsSupport the show
