Spring has officially arrived in Colorado—and if you’ve been dreaming about a fresh start, this could be your moment. Longer days, blooming trees, and an influx of new listings make this one of the most active and exciting seasons in real estate. Whether you’re upsizing, downsizing, or buying your very first home, there’s something about spring that makes change feel possible.
Let’s Talk About New Construction—And Why It’s Worth a Closer Look
After nearly 30 years of helping clients buy and sell homes in Douglas County and the greater Denver metro area, I’ve seen a lot of real estate cycles—but one thing that remains constant? The unique advantages of new construction homes.
Maybe you’re craving low-maintenance living, more space, or a layout that fits your current lifestyle. Maybe you love the idea of customizing a home that hasn’t belonged to anyone else. Whatever your reason, this spring’s market is offering more opportunities than we’ve seen in years.
Builders Are Catching Up—And That’s Good News for You
Following the 2008 downturn, builders hit the brakes on new development. That pause has contributed to the housing shortage we’re still working through today. But recently, there’s been a noticeable shift. Builders are finally catching up to demand—not overbuilding, but building more thoughtfully and steadily.
In fact, in just the past 12 months, over 26,000 new home permits have been issued across the Denver metro area—a 30% increase year-over-year. With 248 active new home projects currently underway, there’s a lot to explore.
Yes, There Are Still Incentives—And They Can Be a Game-Changer
Here’s something many buyers don’t realize: builders are still offering powerful incentives to help make new homes more attainable.
According to the National Association of Home Builders, nearly 60% of builders are offering perks like:
- Interest rate buydowns
- Closing cost assistance
- Upgrade credits to personalize your finishes
With mortgage rates hovering around 7%, these offers can make a huge difference in your monthly payment—and your confidence in moving forward.
You Don’t Have to Navigate It Alone
Buying a new construction home is exciting, but it’s also very different from buying a resale. You’re not just choosing a home—you’re choosing a builder, a lot, a floorplan, design options, timelines, and more. The good news? I’ve guided hundreds of clients through this process—and I’ve built strong relationships with the area’s top builders along the way.
From helping you compare communities to understanding what’s really included in the base price, I’ll be with you every step of the way. We’ll talk strategy, design, and everything in between to make sure you feel confident and supported.
Let’s Find Your Fresh Start
If you’ve been considering a move, I’d love to talk. Whether you’re ready to dive into the new construction process or just want to understand your options, I’m here to help you make smart, informed decisions.
Spring is a season of new beginnings—let’s make this one yours.
