"Given the low supply of existing homes coming on the for-sale market, new construction has helped to fill gaps," a Zillow analysis found. "As a result, sales of newly built homes have increased in the past year while existing-home sales fell. The recent decline in mortgage rates at the end of the year coupled with a steady supply of newly built homes is supporting new home sales."
