Buying a new Johnston County home isn’t just about getting shiny appliances and fresh paint. It’s about making a smart investment for your future.
Here’s the big news: on average, new homes are more affordable than existing ones. That’s right—buying new could save you money upfront and down the road. Don’t believe us? Check out this article!
Why New Homes in Johnston County Cost Less!
It’s no surprise: builders are focusing on making new homes more affordable and more efficient. One of the big shifts? Today’s new homes are smaller than they were just a few years ago. In 2022, the average size was about 2,300 square feet. Now, most new homes are closer to 2,100 square feet.
And guess what? That downsizing translates to real savings. In April, the median price for a brand-new home was around $407,000—less than the typical resale home, which was closer to $414,000. So not only do you get a fresh start with modern features, but you also get to keep more money in your pocket.

Plus, new homes come with brand-new appliances and home systems (no worries about repairs or replacements anytime soon). You’ll also get the builder’s warranty—one year for home systems and a 10-year structural warranty. That means fewer unexpected costs for you!
