Who is building at the lower end?

Horton's brokerage, all with St. Petersburg addresses, made up 31 of the new houses, 22 active and 9 in contract, about 2.4 listings per contract at a median ask of $499,000, with 30 of the 31 priced under $750,000.

What does this mean for buyers and sellers?
For buyers, new houses under $1 million offered more choice per contract than older houses at the same price, and the beach towns had little contract activity at the top. Compare taxes on the Pinellas County property tax page, association fees on our Pinellas County HOA fees by community page, and insurance on our Clearwater and Madeira Beach pages.
For sellers of older houses between $2 million and $3 million, new construction was drawing contracts at more than twice the pace. Sellers of new houses above $3 million faced dozens of listings for each contract.

Limitations
"New" means a year built of 2024 or later on the listing record, which includes builder homes and houses built by individual owners; a few listings may show a planned year. "In contract" combines Active Under Contract and Pending, and contracts can fall through. City is the mailing city, and community follows our neighborhood match. Remark counts depend on the words agents chose and are not a check of elevation, flood zone or construction. Small counts move ratios quickly. Nothing here is legal, insurance or financial advice.
