Homebuilders have been busy trying to make up for the lack of existing homes on the market and keep up with high demand. There has been a surge in homebuyer demand since the start of the pandemic, stemming from low mortgage rates and the prevalence of remote work. At the same time, some homeowners have opted to refinance or remodel instead of selling, intensifying the shortage of existing homes for sale.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Overall inventory <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/home-sales-down-11-pct\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">dropped<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to a record low in December. Inventory of existing homes fell 14.2% year over year in December, and there was a record-low 1.8 months of supply. For new homes, there was 6 months of supply and inventory was up 34.8%.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As the share of homes for sale that are newly built has edged up, the share of home <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">sales<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that are new builds has remained relatively consistent, around 11%. This dichotomy is another indicator that homebuyer demand is far outpacing supply.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cA lot of pre-owned homes are being listed, but they are just selling off so quickly&#8211;typically in a matter of days&#8211;while new homes take longer to sell,\u201d said Redfin Economist <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/news\/author\/sheharyarbokhari\/\">Sheharyar Bokhari<\/a>. \u201cSo as a homebuyer, you\u2019re increasingly likely to see new builds when you look up homes for sale in your target area. Existing homes tend to be less expensive and fly off the shelves faster, so people who are just getting into the market should speak to their lender and agent about preparing to act quickly when an existing home that meets their criteria does hit the market this winter.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Builders have grappled with supply-chain delays and skyrocketing <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/sky-high-lumber-prices-are-back-11639842879\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">lumber costs<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> during the pandemic, and have responded by increasing prices of newly built homes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The median sale price of new homes increased 3.4% to $377,700 year over year in December, according to U.S. Census data.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Demand for new homes intensified at the end of the year, with sales rising 11.9% from the month before in December.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>Houston has the biggest share of newly built homes for sale<\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In Houston, 39.5% of for-sale homes were newly built in the fourth quarter, the largest share of the 50 metros in this analysis. It\u2019s followed by Minneapolis (38.3%) and San Antonio (37.5%). Texas metros top this list because they typically have more land to build new homes on and relatively lenient construction regulations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the other end of the spectrum, three California metros had the smallest shares of new-construction inventory. In San Diego, 3.1% of for-sale homes were newly built, followed by Anaheim (3.8%) and Los Angeles (4.4%). California has a lack of vacant land and less space zoned for housing development.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The ranking in this section is based on fourth-quarter Redfin data on the 50 most populous U.S. metros.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4>Building permits are up, a signal that supply of new homes will continue to rise<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The number of building permits was up 6.5% year over year in December, and up 9.1% from the month before. Building permits are government-granted authorizations that allow builders to begin construction.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The uptick in building permits at the end of last year is a sign that supply and sales of newly built homes will continue to rise in 2022. Builders are betting demand from buyers will continue in the coming year as permanent remote work policies allow more people to move. More new homes in the pipeline should help boost the overall supply of for-sale homes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td colspan=\"2\"><b>U.S. New Construction Housing Market Summary:
