There are two primary reasons, according to Redfin Lead Economist <span class=\"xn-person\">Taylor Marr<\/span>: an increase in homebuilding and a decrease in the number of Americans putting their houses up for sale.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Building homes has become more attractive and profitable during the pandemic due to record-low mortgage rates and red-hot homebuyer demand,&#8221; Marr said. &#8220;At the same time, many homeowners have opted to stay put and refinance or remodel their existing homes instead of selling them, allowing new-construction homes to take up a larger portion of the market.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>U.S. housing starts\u2014the number of new residential construction projects\u2014jumped nearly 20% month over month in March to the highest level since 2006, a sign that homebuilders are growing more bullish despite lumber shortages and elevated construction costs. Meanwhile, listings of existing homes fell.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>A lot of pandemic homebuyers have also turned to the new-construction market because bidding wars are fierce and new homes have historically attracted less competition. But the U.S. housing shortage has grown so severe that some newly built homes now have waitlists that are 90 buyers deep, said Redfin&#8217;s Salt Lake City Market Manager, <span class=\"xn-person\">Ryan Aycock<\/span>. Some builders are even canceling contracts with buyers who refuse to accept price increases.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;New construction has typically been a good option for buyers who don&#8217;t want to deal with bidding wars because builders don&#8217;t usually set deadlines for offers. Buyers also like that they can often buy a new home for what it&#8217;s actually listed for rather than having to offer way over the asking price to win,&#8221; said Redfin Houston real estate agent <span class=\"xn-person\">Melanie Miller<\/span>. &#8220;However, inventory for new construction is very low and prices are now rising for many new and pre-construction homes because lumber prices have gone up. I had one buyer who came to terms with a builder at a certain price. The builder called us the next day and said they can&#8217;t do that price anymore because their suppliers just increased prices.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\n        <b><br \/>\n          <span class=\"xn-location\">El Paso, TX<\/span> and <span class=\"xn-location\">Boise, ID<\/span> Have the Highest Share of New-Construction Homes<br \/><\/b>In <span class=\"xn-location\">El Paso, TX<\/span>, 53.2% of single-family homes for sale in the first quarter were newly built\u2014the largest share of the 82 U.S. metropolitan areas in Redfin&#8217;s analysis. Metros must have had populations of at least 750,000 and at least 50 sales of newly built single-family homes in the first quarter to be included in Redfin&#8217;s analysis. The other metros in the top 10 were <span class=\"xn-location\">Boise, ID<\/span> (46.7%), <span class=\"xn-location\">Houston<\/span> (35.5%), <span class=\"xn-location\">Raleigh, NC<\/span> (34.5%), <span class=\"xn-location\">Baton Rouge, LA<\/span> (34.1%), <span class=\"xn-location\">Albany, NY<\/span> (33.7%), <span class=\"xn-location\">Nashville, TN<\/span> (31.9%), <span class=\"xn-location\">Charlotte, NC<\/span> (31.6%), <span class=\"xn-location\">Oklahoma City, OK<\/span> (30.8%) and <span class=\"xn-location\">Knoxville, TN<\/span> (29.6%).<\/p>\n<p>In <span class=\"xn-location\">Fresno, CA<\/span>, just 2.4% of single-family homes for sale in the first quarter were newly built\u2014the smallest share of the 82 metros in Redfin&#8217;s analysis.

When broken down by region, the West had the lowest share of newly built homes as a portion of total single-family homes for sale, at just 8.4%. It was followed by the Northeast (11.4%), the Midwest (15.4%) and the South (25.8%).<\/p>\n<p>Certain major metros are excluded from Redfin&#8217;s analysis because its methodology filters out metros where there were fewer than 50 sales of newly built single-family homes in the first quarter. <span class=\"xn-location\">San Francisco<\/span> and <span class=\"xn-location\">Philadelphia<\/span> are among the metros excluded for this reason.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <b>Looking Ahead: Building Permits Are Up the Most In <span class=\"xn-location\">Elgin, IL<\/span> and <span class=\"xn-location\">Tacoma, WA<\/span><br \/><\/b>Single-family building permits, or government-granted authorizations that allow builders to begin construction of single-family homes, jumped 25.7% year over year during the first quarter.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>In <span class=\"xn-location\">Elgin, IL<\/span>, single-family permits climbed 68.3%\u2014the biggest jump of the metros in Redfin&#8217;s analysis for which U.S. Census permit data was available.
