Two key factors are contributing to the rise in new construction sales. Firstly, there's been a significant increase in homebuilding activity.

Secondly, fewer existing homeowners are listing their homes for sale. The surge in mortgage rates, reaching a 23-year high of around 8%, is a likely deterrent for sellers.

Despite the challenges posed by high mortgage rates, many buyers are opting for new construction homes.
