Mortgage rates may be high. Prices are up, too. But there’s never been a better time to build a new home with EGStoltzfus.
If you’re waiting for prices to come down, don’t. Yes, prices may vary a few percentage points, month-to-month. But, for the most part, housing prices have continued their upward march. And the likelihood that they’ll come down tomorrow? Almost zero. For more details, read our post, “Eight Reasons Why Now is the Time to Build Your Dream Home.”
There’s still a shortage of resale homes on the market. And many families are finding they just can’t find what they want. Plus, the average home on the market is 25 to 30 years old and priced the same as a new home. And you’ll still have repairs, no warranties, and the expense of customizing it for your needs.
It’s true that mortgage rates are higher than they have been. But when they come down, you can bet there will be a stampede to buy any house that’s available. So it’s much smarter to buy now and lock in the price. Then renegotiate your mortgage when prices come down.
New construction homes have the latest and greatest … of everything. Better insulation and more efficient HVAC systems mean lower energy costs. And even the right location, convenient to work, shopping, and schools can mean savings at the gas pump.

But when you build a home with EGStoltzfus, you’ll have brand new materials and appliances. Which translates into fewer repairs. And even those are covered by our one-year warranty, supplemented by any manufacturer’s programs.
