Here’s where the confusion can arise: When a builder constructs a new home, it typically sells the property before completing the home.

"But the builder that's actually putting together your home is not."

A larger supply of homes for sale, both from owners and those listed by builders, will give buyers more options and tamp down price gains in the coming years, the Mortgage Bankers group says.
