If you're looking for a deal in the homebuying market, you might want to ditch the fixer-upper and spring for a brand-new home.

For the last half-century, newly-built homes in the US have sold for much more, on average, than older homes. But these days, new homes for sale are less expensive per square foot than existing homes. Overall, newly constructed homes are selling for just 3% more than older homes, down from an average of 16% more since 1968, The Wall Street Journal reported.

Prices for existing homes have risen as fewer of them are on the market. The inventory of existing homes being resold has fallen significantly in recent years. As of March 2024, the number of existing homes for sale had fallen to 1.1 million from 1.7 million in 2019, and sales of existing homes hit a near 30-year low last year, a Harvard report found earlier this year.

- BUSINESS INSIDER

New construction homes are playing a bigger role in the housing market

Mortgage rates have been falling in recent weeks, but a high near 8% last month took a bite out of new home sales, according to the latest figures from the Commerce Department. Sales of new single family homes fell 5.6% in October — more than expected. But they’re still up, almost 18% over last year.

In fact, newly constructed homes are playing a much bigger role in the housing market today than they have in at least four decades.

High mortgage rates are gonna put a damper on home sales no matter what, said Anirban Basu, an economist and CEO of Sage Policy Group. But in today’s housing market new construction has some advantages for buyers, namely, it’s what’s available to them, Basu said.

Updates on the Latest Battle Creek Michigan Home Price Drops 2025

As I have promised, here's the latest price change on one of the area listings in Battle Creek, Michigan. I have been monitoring these homes during the month of February, and have seen a drastic downward trend on several homes that were listed in the $3,000 K to $5,000 K arena. This week the homes are trending downward in the $5,000 K to $10,000 range, and a notable trend downward is now entering the $20,000 K range.

Redfin Article: Housing Supply Is Piling Up As Home Sellers Enter the Market But Buyers Stay on Sidelines

There are five months of for-sale supply on the market nationwide, up from 4.4 months a year earlier and the most since early 2019. Inventory is piling up because more sellers are listing their homes while fewer buyers are wading into the market.

New listings rose 7.4% year over year during the four weeks ending February 9, hitting their highest level for any comparable time period since 2022. Just after this time in 2022, mortgage rates started rising quickly, encouraging many homeowners to stay put to hold onto low rates. Now, that lock-in effect is starting to ease. Pending home sales, meanwhile, fell 6%, similar to the declines we’ve seen since the start of the year. The typical home that sold in that period took 57 days to go under contract–the longest span since March 2020, when the onset of the pandemic nearly ground the housing market to a halt. Sales are slow mostly because housing costs are high, with the median monthly housing payment sitting just $46 below its all-time high. Home-sale prices are up 4.3% year over year, and the weekly average mortgage rate is 6.89%, down slightly from a week earlier but still more than double the average pre-pandemic and early-pandemic rates.

Housing markets with a lot of federal workers have been thrown into disarray by Trump’s RTO order and layoff fears

Return-to-office mandates and potential layoffs are upending housing markets as employees deal with job insecurity and commute times.

The Trump administration’s return-to-office mandate and layoffs are disrupting housing markets with big federal footprints, as workers search for closer commutes and struggle with job insecurity.

Building Generational Wealth: Real Estate Strategies and Family Legacy - Property Management Blog

The Secret Sauce to Building Generational Wealth Through Multifamily

Why Multifamily Syndication is Perfect for Generational Wealth

Over the next few decades, the U.S. will experience the largest inter-generational wealth transfer in history, with Baby Boomers passing down trillions in assets to Gen Xers and Millennials. As younger generations inherit this wealth, many are looking for new, strategic ways to grow and preserve it. Multifamily syndication fits perfectly within this context, offering a secure, scalable investment opportunity. - Blue Lake Capital

Four Real Estate Strategies To Build Generational Wealth

Real estate has long been an avenue to build this, as capital appreciation combined with passive income makes these investments scalable and repeatable. Unfortunately, when people think of real estate, they often think of buying and renting single-family homes. While there's nothing wrong with that, it's often a long road to generational wealth. Instead, I find that if you want to build long-lasting wealth through real estate there are five strategies to consider. - FORBES

Why Defining Legacy is Critical for Building Generational Wealth

Defining your legacy will help you decide how you would like to pass on your assets - but what will that look like? Will this transfer be in the form of a substantial amount of money, a piece of real estate or a family heirloom? Whatever the item, it is important to have a plan in place, because as many have learned during housing booms and busts… you can’t spend your house.

How are people passing down generational wealth? There are many ways to transfer wealth to the next generation. While cash and real property have always been one of the most common assets of inheritance, the market has become more flexible. - TRUST & WILL

The Role of Real Estate in Building Generational Wealth

We all wonder and worry what will happen to our family when we are no longer here.

While the legacy of our life will live on in their memories, there is another legacy we can leave behind that will create a lasting impact on those we love: wealth.

In the pursuit of building wealth for generations to come, few assets hold as much potential for creating lasting financial security as real estate.

For tech leaders, entrepreneurs, and executives seeking to build wealth and leave a meaningful legacy, property investment stands out as a cornerstone strategy. - iilife.live

Five Steps to Building Generational Wealth

Generational wealth is financial wealth and assets that can be passed down from one generation to the next, giving your heirs the gift of greater financial security. If you are new to financial planning, you may be wondering how to start building a wealth portfolio. Follow these five steps to get started on your generational wealth building journey. - DFPI.CA.GOV

What Contributes to Profit Potential?

The profit potential of a real estate investment is determined by several key factors that directly influence returns, cash flow, and long-term appreciation. Understanding these drivers helps investors make informed decisions and maximize profitability.

Location: Proximity to job hubs, transportation, schools, and amenities significantly impacts demand, property values, and rental income. High-growth cities and emerging markets offer the best profit potential.

Market Demand: Regions with increasing population growth, low housing supply, or commercial expansion consistently drive higher returns.

Property Type: Different property types yield varying returns. Industrial properties currently lead in rental yields, while short-term vacation rentals offer dynamic pricing advantages.

Economic Trends: Stable economies with low unemployment and business-friendly policies attract investors and tenants alike.

Financing Costs: Interest rates and financing terms impact investment costs. Favorable mortgage rates improve cash flow and overall ROI.

Property Management: Efficient property management reduces tenant turnover, ensures timely maintenance, and optimizes rental yields.

Zoning and Regulations: Compliance with local laws and zoning regulations minimizes legal risks and operational disruptions.

Technological Integration: Smart home features, energy efficiency, and tech-driven property management tools increase value and tenant appeal. - The Luxury Playbook

What is BRRRR?

BRRRR stands for Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, and Repeat. This real estate investment strategy focuses on buying, renovating, renting and refinancing distressed and poorly maintained properties to allow further investments in property.

How does BRRRR work?

The BRRRR method is a step-by-step approach that, when followed correctly, allows real estate investors to quickly build a portfolio:

1. Buy The first step of the BRRRR strategy is to purchase a distressed property that has potential. This could be simply that it’s undervalued, located in an attractive area, or that the purchase price can be cheap due to the amount of work required.

You’ll need to conduct thorough analysis and calculate the potential renovation costs to ensure you’ll achieve a satisfactory profit margin. The 70% rule – not buying a distressed property for more than 70% of its value post-renovation – can be an effective guideline at this stage.

2. Rehab The next stage of the BRRRR method is to renovate the investment property in order to increase its value. The work required in the rehab process can range from structural improvements and updates to aesthetic and environmental optimisations, like retrofitting, that can justify higher monthly rent rates.

As stated above, the balance here is to ensure you’re not overspending but are sufficiently renovating the property to attract potential tenants and boost its appeal.

Learn more: A guide to retrofitting (and how it could help us reach net zero)

3. Rent

Once you’ve finished renovating the property, you’ll want to start renting it out. The amount of prior research and analysis you’ve put into this project will determine your success in this stage.

Naturally, you’ll want to find renters with a good credit report, no history of criminal activity or eviction and positive references. The amount you charge should be enough to attract high-quality tenants while also bringing a return on investment for the initial purchase and renovation costs incurred earlier in the process.

4. Refinance Refinancing is the process of replacing an existing mortgage with a new one and ultimately extending terms so that they’re more favourable. In cash-out refinances, the new mortgage will be worth more than your previous balance, and you’ll receive the difference in cash.

The money you gain from a cash-out refinance can then be used to purchase another distressed property in a similar condition to the first. You’ll need to have owned the property for a certain period before you’ll be able to complete this step of the process.

5. Repeat

After the refinancing stage is complete, you’re ready to repeat the process with your new property, as you did before.

Greetings,

I grew up in a rural area in the country, raised by parents who believed in discipline and hard work. Believe me, their teachings have prepared me to perform well on my own without supervision. As a child, I would act out taking orders from customers and writing tickets as a policeman, and at 10 years of age, I began door-to-door sales selling shoes, garden seeds, and Christmas cards in the spring, fall, and summer.

When I was not selling I tended the half-acre garden, hand-watered the garden and 16 fruit trees, fed and cared for the chickens, ducks, dogs, pigs, rabbits, and beehives. Also chopping and stacking cords of firewood,cutting trees, stump removal, all by hand, yard work and shoveling snow in the winter months, and stacking hay was my first job at age 12, and completing my homework before bedtime.

These experiences taught me responsibility and also pride in my performance and achievements.

In high school, I participated in track and field, basketball, and football under a vocational field of study.

After moving to California in 1973, I joined the US Army in 1977 and was honorably discharged as a Sergeant E5 in 1980. I then spent 6 years of service with the Army Reserves. During 3 of those years, I was employed as a security guard and later promoted as Leutenant with the Pinkertons Security Agency. I also supervised maintenance at Muskegon Housing Commission and Muskegon City Hall around the year of 1985/86, and relocated to Battle Creek, Michigan in 2017.  

Even though I have a college education in business marketing and sales, Applied Electronics at Fort Knox Kentucky in 1986, and Business Machine Service at Control Data Institute in 1975, I began a self-taught Executive Marketing Management journey beginning in 1980 after completing a 6 week Basic Itroduction to the Internet class provided by the Urban League.

I created this Bangs and Hamers blog, where I have posted frequently, and have developed an average following that continues to grow, according to the Google Analytical statistics and visitor user event monitoring platform. This blog is also linked to the Bangs and Hammers website.

Improving my online marketing skills as the owner and founder of the company; Spuncksides Promotion Production LLC, promotional product distributor, the umbrella over all integrated marketing websites and business opportunities, the goal is to develop an affiliate website.

When I started I was just considering earning income for myself, and after realizing providing products and services for others by partnering in collaboratives and with businesses, contractors and 3rd party vendors, and service providers. This would eventually establish a better form of growth and long term relationships building online and offline unlike traditional legacy-fashioned strategies mainly taught in the past. Most businesses are formed for self-image while excluding the needs of the clients and customers.

The blog is also attached to the Bangs and Hammers website as promoted on the Blogspot platform under the same name as the website. Its focus is on beautifying real estate investrment property and formal investment strategies for generational wealth building. Currently, the blog post entries have moved away from beautification and moved into smart homes and retrofitting smart devices for smart homes and smart cities. The focus will soon return to the original intent of beautifying the interior and exterior of real estate property once the legal aspects of the business is finalized.

Moving forward, it is my sincere goal to improve along with the many changes that can develop over time and leave a lasting legacy that can be passed down for many generations to come.

Sincerely,

Alvin Johnson

Greetings, from Alvin Johnson Author and Founder of Spuncksides Promotion Production LLC

Greetings,

As I approach my audience, in recognition of the vastness of the Universe, the skies, earth, and the sea's tranquil exactness yet imperfection of all creation that seems to display the appearance of perfection through the eyes of the observer, a variety we must recognize in all things created.

The "Universal Force," even though all things considered, tends to induct us all into the "Divine Realm" of all that is and forever was created in the Beginning, the Divine Nature of Absolute Authorship. We find in us together the authority to create and become masterful in what is creation and what we create, whether good or evil.

As I dive deeper and baby-step through the myriad of collections and informative ideas, I hope to stimulate the creative capabilities of others. Knowing we all have been gifted with a unique form of talent, it is also recognized that our collective advances will unite and ignite a stimulus within and spring forward to thrive, survive, and flourish with our abilities, talents, and gifts within our neighboring communities.

This includes curriculum development, public awareness campaigns, and partnerships with organizations like Spuncksides Promotion Production LLC, which are committed to advancing these goals.

Together, we can create a foundation for economic inclusivity, sustainability, and generational prosperity. Thank you for your time and thoughtful consideration of this urgent matter.

Sincerely,

21 kitchen trends you'll soon see everywhere

Kitchen renovations are one of the most popular ways to refresh your living space—and it makes sense to start in the space where you probably spend the most time at home. If a kitchen upgrade is on your list for 2025 but you're not sure where to start, we're here to help with a list of the 21 kitchen trends you'll soon see everywhere.

Now that we are relatively deep into January, otherwise known as the start of a new year, we are highly focused on at-home renovations, starting in the heart of the home, the kitchen.

For most people, changing out the kitchen cabinets or sprucing them up with new hardware is a doable task.

However, if you design them entirely from scratch, it's not cheap and it can be hard to find quality recommendations. That's why we put together a list of the best kitchen cabinet brands below.

In terms of where to start, New York-based interior designer Nina Lichtenstein says, "When choosing kitchen cabinets—whether built-in or freestanding—start by evaluating your priorities. Think about materials, finish, size, and storage functionality."
