Momentum Housing Data · Buyer Series
Builders and resale sellers are competing for the same buyers, and the honest comparison is current inventory, not brochures. The table below is computed from live MLS listings in the feeds Momentum licenses — median list price, price per square foot, market time, and how much of each metro’s inventory is new construction. As of stub, refreshed with each site build.
| Metro | NC share of actives | Median list: NEW | Median list: RESALE | $/sqft: NEW | $/sqft: RESALE | DOM: NEW | DOM: RESALE |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jacksonville | 21% (1,720 of 8,116) | $398,708 | $379,700 | $210 | $210 | 71 days | 63 days |
| Tampa | 10% (1,748 of 17,455) | $605,625 | $370,000 | $279 | $230 | 57 days | 52 days |
| Orlando | 12% (1,858 of 15,535) | $462,990 | $399,000 | $233 | $219 | 43 days | 50 days |
| Space Coast | 17% (722 of 4,165) | $385,875 | $355,000 | $207 | $223 | 72 days | 35 days |
| Southwest FL | 12% (1,452 of 12,391) | $369,900 | $440,000 | $227 | $269 | 77 days | 72 days |
Reading it fairly: new-construction list prices are base-plus — lot premiums, options, and closing incentives move the real number both ways, and in many new communities a CDD assessment rides the tax bill for decades. Resale prices are asking, not closed — and in a market where prices fell in 13 of 14 large counties, closed comps run below asks. Where builder inventory is a large share of actives, builders’ incentive budgets effectively set the market — resale sellers competing against them should read the failed-listing data first.
A Momentum agent can pull the true side-by-side for your target area — real closed prices, incentives currently offered, and the full carrying-cost stack including CDD and HOA.

It depends on the metro, and the table on this page answers it with live listing data as of stub: median list price, price per square foot, and days on market for new-construction vs. resale inventory, computed from the MLS feeds Momentum Realty licenses and refreshed with each site build. Remember the quoted base price of new construction excludes lot premiums, options, and - in many communities - a CDD assessment on the tax bill.
In many master-planned communities, a CDD assessment of roughly $1,300-$4,200+ per year depending on community and lot - district-verified tables at movewithmomentum.com/data/nocatee-cdd-fees, /data/lakewood-ranch-cdd-fees, and /data/wesley-chapel-cdd-fees. Resale homes in the same communities carry the same CDD; older non-CDD neighborhoods carry none.
