If you’ve been watching the real estate headlines, you may have noticed an important trend: more homes are hitting the market in the Bay Area, especially in San Francisco. While this signals a shift from the ultra-tight inventory of recent years, it doesn’t necessarily mean buyers will find exactly what they want. That’s where custom homebuilding continues to shine and where we see real opportunity.

At Seamus Collins Construction, we’re watching this trend closely. As more listings come online, we’re seeing increased mobility among homeowners. People who have waited on the sidelines are now either selling, buying land, or looking to upgrade to a home that better fits their lifestyle. In many cases, that means new construction.

Why More Listings Matter for Builders
As more homes enter the market, we anticipate that there will be an uptick in sellers who will use the equity they’ve built to finance custom home projects. For buyers, more listings create a ripple effect: freeing up land and opening doors in desirable neighborhoods that may have felt impossible to break into only a year ago.

A Moment of Strategic Advantage
When inventory loosens, the custom homebuilding process gets a boost. It’s easier to secure interim housing, time a sale, and find lots with potential. Our team works closely with clients to turn these conditions into real-world results, guiding them from site selection to final build.

If you’ve been wondering whether this is the right time to build, the answer might finally be yes. Seamus Collins Construction is ready to help.
