Navigating the 2024 Housing Market with True Homes

2024 Housing Market Predictions

As we step into the 2024 housing market, homebuyers face a landscape shaped by high mortgage rates and a slowly increasing inventory. According to Zillow's predictions, while there will be more options and a slight improvement in affordability, the overall scenario remains challenging. In this context, True Homes emerges as a beacon of hope for those seeking to navigate the market smartly and effectively.

True Homes offers new home construction, a choice that stands out remarkably against the backdrop of the 2024 market trends. With a significant portion of the market turning towards homes needing renovations, True Homes provides a fresh, hassle-free alternative. Our new construction homes are ready to move in, eliminating the need for the time-consuming and often costly process of renovating a fixer-upper.

One key aspect of the 2024 market, as highlighted by Zillow, is the gradual increase in homes hitting the market, resulting from homeowners accepting that low mortgage rates are a thing of the past. This increase in inventory is good news for buyers, but it also means making a choice that aligns with long-term financial and personal goals is more important than ever.

For many, the idea of homeownership is not just about acquiring property but about finding a space that resonates with personal tastes and lifestyles. Here, True Homes shines by offering the ability to customize new homes to fit individual preferences, something not typically feasible with older, fixer-upper properties. This aspect of customization is particularly appealing to buyers who look at their homes as long-term investments, where the financial benefits of buying outweigh the initial costs of renting and investing elsewhere.

True Homes enhances the home buying experience with our preferred lender program . This program offers tailored financing options, crucial in a market where mortgage rates are expected to remain high. The program is designed to help buyers navigate the financial complexities of purchasing a home, aligning with Zillow's observation that home buying costs are likely to level off, giving buyers a chance to catch up.

In addition to the practical advantages of new construction homes, True Homes also addresses a growing trend in the market: the rise in single-family rentals. While rentals offer temporary solutions, True Homes provides a more permanent and personal solution, allowing families to enjoy amenities like private backyards and spacious living areas without the constraints of rental agreements.

In essence, True Homes offers a comprehensive and thoughtful solution to homebuyers in 2024. By choosing new construction homes, buyers can enjoy the benefits of modern living spaces, customizable options, and financial planning assistance through the preferred lender program. As the market evolves, True Homes stands as a reliable and forward-thinking partner for those embarking on the journey of homeownership.

True Homes to Support Community Recovery in Western North Carolina Through Lowe’s Initiative

By Megan Patterson • March 27, 2025

Charlotte, NC (March 27, 2025) — True Homes is honored to partner with Lowe’s , Appalachian Service Project (ASP) , Kelly McArdle Construction , the Home Builders Association of Greater Charlotte , and a network of dedicated collaborators to support recovery efforts in rural Western North Carolina. This initiative aims to help rebuild homes and restore hope for communities still recovering from the devastating impact of Hurricane Helene. As part of Lowe’s unwavering commitment to helping communities in need, the company has announced a $2 million investment specifically to support rebuilding efforts in Western North Carolina. This brings Lowe’s total contribution to recovery efforts in the wake of Hurricanes Helene and Milton to $14 million. Read Lowe's Press Release here → Six months after Hurricane Helene made landfall, the need remains. While progress continues in these resilient mountain communities, many families still face enormous challenges. That’s why this initiative matters so deeply. Through our True Foundation, True Homes is proud to support the construction of 20 temporary tiny homes—each one an essential sanctuary for individuals and families navigating tremendous loss. These thoughtfully designed homes offer not only shelter but dignity, comfort, and connection during the long road to recovery. Each tiny home measures 8 feet by 16 feet, is permanently mounted on wheels and can accommodate three to four individuals. They include a kitchen, bathroom, and two full-size beds, along with a curated selection of furnishings and décor—lamps, curtains, bedding, towels, and decorative accents—selected by Lowe’s design team. In addition, each home will be delivered with fresh greenery specially chosen to brighten the small space. The homes will be delivered, installed, and connected to electricity on each recipient’s homesite—allowing individuals and families to stay in their neighborhood and on their land while their permanent home is being rebuilt. “This partnership represents the heart of what we do,” said John Bain, Executive Partner of Supply Chain at True Homes. “Our valued Trade Partners and volunteers are showing up with both their hearts and their hands—constructing these units in a warehouse facility generously donated in uptown Charlotte. Together with ASP, we’re working to deliver them to rural Western North Carolina, where they’re needed most. We can’t even begin to express the gratitude we feel for everyone contributing to the success of this build.” With over 50 volunteers already signed up, the outpouring of support has been a powerful expression of our shared commitment to people and place. The homes are being built in a warehouse generously donated in Uptown Charlotte, and ASP will lead the delivery of these units to areas most in need. At True Homes, we are deeply humbled to be part of this life-changing effort—and remain committed to making More Life possible for every individual and every community we serve.
