In the Seattle area’s housing market, homebuyers are facing a complex landscape. Rising interest rates, limited inventory, and the latest hit — potential increased tariffs on building materials — are all contributing to higher costs and uncertainty for anyone looking to buy a new home.
But at Conner Homes, we’re here to help buyers stay ahead of the curve — and the cost.
Move-In Ready Homes at Today’s Prices
We offer a selection of move-in ready homes throughout our communities, which means the pricing and materials were locked in before recent tariff hikes. Translation: you pay less than if you waited even 3–6 months.
Local Builder Advantage
As a locally owned and operated builder, we work with trusted regional suppliers and vendors. This helps us keep costs under control — and quality high.
Smart Incentives to Offset Rising Costs
We sometimes offer special buyer bonuses, design upgrades, and appliance packages that help offset other market pressures. When costs go up, we give you more for your money — not less. Check out Conner Homes website for current special incentives.
Flexible Financing Options
We partner with experienced local lenders who understand the importance of locking in a competitive rate and finding solutions that work for you — whether you’re a first-time buyer or looking to move up.
What Buyers Should Do Right Now
In the Seattle area, the fact remains that the need for additional housing is not being meant. Simply put, we have a housing shortage. Many homebuyers are currently on the sidelines waiting for mortgage rates to fall but it’s very possible that current rates are the new normal and a return to 3% mortgage rates is unlikely. It’s also possible that homebuyers who wait to purchase, hoping that interest rates will decline, may encounter a burst of demand this summer due to people waiting to make an offer on a home. If that happens, demand for homes is likely to exceed the supply and prices could quickly rise. Savvy homebuyers will avoid that risk and start shopping now. The time to purchase a new home is when you need to purchase a new home. Your dreams don’t have to wait. With rising costs and uncertainty ahead, now is the smartest time to buy — especially with a trusted builder like Conner Homes.
We’ve built our reputation on quality, transparency, and putting our buyers first. Let us help you find a home that’s not only built to last — but built for life in the Pacific Northwest.
