Harris Real Estate Daily
By Tim & Julie Harris · November 19, 2025
🌆 Good evening, {{first_name| proactive agents}}! Real estate agents often complain, “There’s nothing to sell.” But that’s only true if you’re relying on the MLS.
Here’s the real picture:
🏡 Newly built single-family homes have recently made up almost one-third of all available homes — far above the historical 10% norm.
📈 Even in 2025’s shifting market, new construction still represents over 26% of single-family inventory.
🚧 Builders continue producing at strong levels, with new housing starts projected to stay in the mid–1.3 million range through 2025–2026.
📊 NAR forecasts a 14% jump in home sales in 2026, including further growth in new-home sales.
If new construction is 25%–30% of your market but not 25%–30% of your business, you are capping your income.
Watch the full show by clicking the video below 👇
This 5-day deep-dive plan will help you become the new construction specialist in your town — the agent buyers trust, the builders rely on, and the one who sees inventory others ignore.

📘 PART 1 — Don’t Miss the Biggest Inventory Source in Your Market
1️⃣ Begin Your 5-Day New Construction Field Blitz 🚗
Action Step #1: Identify and Map Every New Construction Neighborhood
For the next 5 days, treat new construction like your number-one job.
Here’s what to do:
Use Google Maps, MLS, and builder websites to locate every new-build community in your market.
Build a driving route and visit 5 new developments per day (or more, if available).
If your area has fewer communities, expand your geographic radius.
If you have many, turn this into a 10-day plan.
When you arrive:
Tour model homes
Learn price ranges and available floor plans
Gather incentive sheets
Let builder reps explain their product
Add yourself to their email lists
You should finish this blitz feeling 100% confident navigating new communities — not guessing.
2️⃣ Match Your Current Buyers to New-Build Opportunities 🎯
Action Step #2: Prioritize Your Tours Based on Active Buyers
You already have buyers who are stuck because resale options are limited.
Your job:
Review your active buyers
Ask: Which communities could be a match?
Schedule appointments and meet your buyers at the model home
Register them correctly to protect your commission
Write offers the same day when possible — new-build buyers often make faster decisions
This step alone can convert stalled buyers into immediate contracts.

3️⃣ Build Your Personal “New Construction MLS” in Google Sheets 📋
Action Step #3: Stay Organized with a Custom Database
You need your own system — not scattered notes in your phone.
Create a Google Sheet or Doc and record:
Builder / developer
Neighborhood name
Price range
Registration rules
Agent commission + bonuses
Builder financing
Incentives
Sales rep contact info
Future phases or nearby projects
Example:
3 Brothers Builders – Highland Lakes of Austin – From $800K – Register in person – 3% commission – $1,000 spec bonus – Rep: Bob Smith – 3 new communities coming in 2026.
Optional fields:
Schools
HOA fees
Amenities
Estimated taxes
By the end of 5 days, you should know at least 25 communities well enough to speak about them confidently on camera or in conversation.

🏆 Make Housing Great Again Update: Why the Release of Fannie & Freddie Could Spark the Next Real Estate Boom
Real estate friends, buckle up. The housing market is about to get its biggest shake-up — and biggest opportunity — since the crash of 2008. After 16 long years, the conversation has finally shifted: Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are on the path to being released from federal conservatorship.
For real estate professionals, this isn’t just a policy headline. It’s the opening chapter of what could be the next housing boom — one you’ll want to be ready for.
Why This Is a Big Deal for You
If you’ve been in the business since 2008, you know that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac became the lifeline of the housing finance system after the crash. They were placed under conservatorship to stabilize the mortgage market, and ever since, they’ve been tightly controlled by the federal government.
Now, with FHFA and Treasury signaling the next phase, we’re looking at:
A freer, stronger Fannie & Freddie – with more flexibility to innovate and support lending.
Expanded mortgage liquidity – meaning more buyers qualified, more deals closed, more homes sold.
Focus on supply and affordability – opening doors for builders and developers, and giving agents more inventory to sell.
This isn’t just about policy. It’s about unlocking pent-up demand, empowering builders, and reigniting confidence across every corner of housing.
The Perfect Timing
Here’s what makes this so exciting:
Rates are expected to normalize. With inflation cooling and policy easing, the 7%+ mortgage rate era looks like it’s fading. Lower rates + stronger GSEs = more buyers entering the market.
Millennials and Gen Z are moving in. The largest wave of homebuyers in U.S. history is still forming households. Fannie & Freddie’s release means more mortgage products and easier access for them.
Housing supply has to grow. FHFA is already leaning on the GSEs to support builders. For agents, this means more new-build listings, more neighborhoods opening up, and more opportunities to serve first-time buyers.
Political momentum. The 2025–2026 cycle is shaping up to be very pro-housing. Policymakers want to “Make Housing Great Again,” and that aligns perfectly with our business.
What This Means for Your Business
Let’s get practical. Here’s what agents should prepare for as conservatorship winds down:
More loan options. Expect new lending products, flexible underwriting, and programs aimed at affordability. This widens your buyer pool.
Higher transaction volume. More credit = more qualified buyers. Even if prices stabilize, the sheer increase in deals will boost your income.
Stronger builder partnerships. Builders will have access to more financing — and they’ll need agents to move inventory fast.
Market confidence returns. A released, recapitalized Fannie & Freddie signals strength, not uncertainty. That confidence alone fuels more buyer and seller activity.
The Road to 2026: Position Yourself Now
Think of this as a runway. Over the next 12–18 months, housing is setting up for a major expansion phase. Smart agents will:
Double down on relationships with lenders and builders. They’ll be the first to benefit from GSE flexibility.
Educate buyers now. Let your sphere know: better lending conditions are coming. Build excitement before the wave hits.
Prepare your systems. More leads, more contracts, more closings — your CRM, follow-up, and marketing need to be ready.
Stay positive. Remember: the media thrives on fear, but the facts are pointing to one of the strongest housing environments in decades.
Bottom Line: A Once-in-a-Generation Opportunity
For 16 years, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have been shackled. Now, their release could supercharge housing finance, increase affordability, and open the floodgates of demand.
This is not just another news cycle. This is the foundation of a real estate renaissance heading into 2026.
As a professional, this is your moment. Get ready to help more buyers, list more homes, and ride the wave of confidence that’s about to return to our industry.
🔥 Housing is about to be great again. The only question is — will you be ready to lead the charge?
