New Homes Aren’t Selling and Sellers Are Getting DESPERATE… | Housing Market Crisis

New homes are sitting empty across America, and sellers are desperate for buyers. There are now 113,000 brand-new homes that are finished and still unsold, more than triple the low from early 2022, and the housing market has flipped into the strongest buyer’s market on record. In this video I break down what is really happening with new construction homes: how homebuilders like Lennar are quietly cutting prices through incentives and mortgage rate buydowns, why a brand-new home now costs less than a used one, and why regular homeowners trying to sell can’t compete with the builder down the street. We look at where sellers outnumber buyers the most, from Nashville and Miami to Houston and Dallas, what it costs to carry a house that won’t sell, and what buyers and sellers should do right now. If you are trying to buy or sell a home in 2026, this is the part of the housing market nobody is explaining.

1. Would you buy a new build with an HOA if the builder cut your rate under 6 percent?
2. Are home sellers being unrealistic, or are buyers just priced out?
3. Would you rather buy a new build with incentives or an older home you can negotiate on?
