Understanding the Market Dynamics
The report suggests that buyers are increasingly looking towards newly built houses as investments, possibly due to perceptions of better quality, modern amenities, and energy efficiency. The rising prices may also reflect a dwindling supply of available land for new developments, thus driving competition among potential homeowners.
