Market Shifts to New Construction Advantage

Realtor.com reports that new-construction homes now cost less per square foot than resales ($218.66 vs. $226.56 and rising). That means you get more space, more features, and more value.

At Turner Homes, that looks like:

• 𝗧𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵𝘁𝗳𝘂𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗰𝗿𝗮𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗳𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗿 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻𝘀 like the Spruce at Farmstead or the Orchid at Luna Ridge that maximize livability while staying within reach.

• 𝗚𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝗳𝗲𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲𝘀 like granite countertops throughout to Kichler lighting, Delta plumbing fixtures, super-slide shelving in closets and pantries, and soft-close cabinetry in Summit communities. These are details many builders (or flippers) would call “upgrades”—but for us, they’re part of the foundation.

• 𝗛𝗶𝗴𝗵-𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗹𝘀 such as spray foam insulation, energy-efficient windows, insulated garage doors, and ENERGY STAR appliances all help keep you and your wallet comfortable.

Nationally, new-home listings are up 37% since 2020. At Turner Homes, we’re adding to inventory with our professionally designed move-in ready homes. That means more choice for buyers who want a quicker move-in timeline.

It’s all part of building not just homes, but lifestyles that keep pace with the South’s momentum.
