Texas is a trash market and should see a 40% correction in next 2 years. Prices are stable in my area. I am in Washington state.

It means they were likely overpriced to begin with and they’re just trying to get rid of it.

New construction prices are likely more sensitive to the rapid rate increases, but they still need to move inventory

New construction houses are usually sold at a premium compared to surrounding neighborhoods. These houses usually cater to non real estate investors who are looking for a long term home and don’t want to do any work to get the house ready to move in. As such they pay a premium for that convenience. That being said, as those house tend to sell at a premium they are also more price sensitive.

Were the houses way over priced initially?

Nice place.

Typical real estate cycle. Banks only lend when there is a need. Projects take years to go from idea to completion. This means a bunch of developers build at the same time and build excess capacity, then fight for tenants, eventually they get to a balance and the cycle starts over.

Some were already overpriced to begin with. Others are probably completed and builder wants to get it off their hands. Regardless of the situation, You should negotiate even further and/or tag on additional builder incentives. I sell a lot of Perry homes in the area and I will say they have a pretty good product. All the best

With my partner we are considering making a move to the countryside of Switzerland, with a gorgeous RE project offering incredible views on immaculate mountains and lake. However, it is far away, and will require 1h+ train/car commute vs. 10 min biking right now. We are scared it will bite us back at some point, although COVID helped w/ remote working being a new norm. The project will be done 2024, so I hope to have a more relax job by then.
