Adrian’s take: Newly pending listings give an early signal of buyer activity. This comparison cannot establish whether mortgage rates, seasonality or other factors caused the change.

Source: Zillow Research public CSVs. Each line uses the same measure, home type and month. Year-over-year percentages compare markets of different sizes. Price-cut share and days-to-pending lines show levels instead. Zillow condo/co-op is not identical to the local association’s condo/townhouse category. Months of supply is reported separately.

Before relying on an incentive

Builder due-diligence checklist

  • Deposit schedule and refundability
  • Delivery window and extension rights
  • Assignment or resale restrictions
  • HOA, CDD, insurance and closing costs
  • Preferred-lender credit versus total loan cost
  • Warranty, inspection and punch-list rights

Pre-construction timing matters.Contract terms can differ substantially from standard resale contracts. Buyers should review the builder’s documents and obtain appropriate legal, lending and inspection guidance.

Builder and pre-construction contextPublic sales activity helps establish direction, but incentives, deposits, delivery dates, assignment restrictions, HOA/CDD costs and warranties must be verified project by project.

  • Contract and deposit schedule
  • Incentive versus total financing cost
  • Delivery, inspection and warranty rights
