New Construction Context
What New Construction Buyers Should Know
Nationally, newly built homes made up roughly 27% of single-family homes for sale in August 2025, the lowest share in four years, according to Redfin. Builder incentives remain widespread: in September 2026, 66% of builders reported using sales incentives and 38% reported cutting prices, according to the National Association of Home Builders' monthly survey.
Common builder incentives include temporary mortgage-rate buydowns and closing-cost assistance, which can meaningfully reduce the monthly payment on a new home. NAHB and Census data show new single-family home sales running at roughly 580,000 to 684,000 (seasonally adjusted annual rate) per month through 2026.
Financing context matters as much as prices. The average 30-year fixed mortgage rate was 7.40% as of October 8, 2026, according to Freddie Mac's Primary Mortgage Market Survey, up from 6.30% a year earlier and the highest reading in more than a year. Rate buydowns and builder incentives can offset some of that pressure on new construction purchases.
At Fairways of Spring Meadows and The Oaks of Tyrone, Big Sky Development builds luxury new construction with a premium on finishes and home sites. Current pricing on available spec homes at Fairways of Spring Meadows starts at $549,900. For the latest availability and pricing, visit the model home at 5483 Championship Drive.
