Stagingmate ResearchNew-construction searches divided by new-construction plus homes-for-sale searches in each state and 12-month window; change in percentage points.
Google reports rounded monthly search volumes, and very small volumes show as 10 or nothing, so small states and rare queries are noisy. Google may group close variants of a query. Search volume measures interest, not transactions. "Homes for sale" searches include buyers open to new builds, so the share understates total new-construction interest. The planned days-on-market comparison is not included: the public Realtor.com data doesn't separate new builds from resales.
