New homes do come on — K. Hovnanian added 3 to the MLS at The Lakes earlier today — but inventory is being absorbed faster than it's being replaced.

Prices for the newly built homes at The Lakes have been rising. K. Hovnanian was listing homes in the high $300s as recently as a few months ago. Today's starting price is in the low $400s.
The 5 newly built homes at The Lakes that went under contract in the past 15 days reflect that demand. K. Hovnanian is barely keeping up with the pace of buyer activity.
5 existing homes have closed in New Riverside over the past 30 days. These are homes that were already built — not newly constructed homes from a builder. The breakdown:
• 1 at The Lakes
• 1 at The Haven
• 3 at The Landings
Of those 5, 3 went under contract within roughly 2 weeks of being listed and closed quickly thereafter. The other 2 sat for 134 and 282 days before selling.
These numbers are consistent with what we see in the market every week. Homes priced correctly go under contract within days. Homes priced above what the market supports sit for months.
Last week, we looked at a home in New Riverside that went under contract within 5 days of it being listed. That's the pace you want as a seller.
