New home buyers have longer commutes than other homeowners on average. But this is especially true in sprawling Sunbelt markets (Tampa, Dallas) and exurban markets near expensive metros (Stockton, Greeley).

High gas prices hit new construction buyers hardest in these markets.

Only 27% of interstate movers buy immediately—back to pre‑pandemic norms. Nearly half become homeowners within 2–4 years; in some markets, over 50% buy within 12 months.

[🏡 The Real Estate Marketing Update @REMarketingTips]

68% of buyers found their agent through a personal referral or a past experience working together.

Not Zillow. Not Instagram. Not Google Ads.

Someone they trusted said your name.

How many people in your life would confidently refer you today, without being asked?

That number is your real lead pipeline.
