Taylor Morrison's COO said builders can often offer homebuyers better rates on a newly built house. High mortgage rates, home prices teetering near an all-time high, and historically low inventory are keeping many buyers — and sellers — on the sidelines. The larger share of new homes on the market means paying a mortgage rate around 7% isn't the only way into a home. During its third-quarter earnings call , Taylor Morrison explained that it's attracting "well-qualified consumers even among our first-time homebuyers" and 88% of its buyers are using its financing assistance. As Business Insider previously reported, would-be buyers may have more luck securing a lower rate if they buy a new-construction home.

Rising interest rates have slammed the breaks on America's housing market, with home sales down 15.4% year-over-year in September, according to the National Association of Realtors. By controlling the financing, they can offer yesterday's mortgage rates, saving customers tens of thousands of dollars and moving inventory in the process. Tawn Kelley, president of financial services at homebuilder Taylor Morrison, told Insider that financing is an essential part of the home-selling puzzle. Then, there are forward commitments, another way to prepay interest rates that allows a homebuilder to pay down more of it. There are also float downs, which allow purchasers who lock in a mortgage price to reduce their interest rates if mortgage rates get smaller over the course of their mortgage lock.

The last, best hope for homebuyers

But there may be one last hope for salvation for these hard-pressed homebuyers: brand-spanking new houses. Many builders are even dangling perks like cheaper loans or other discounts to ease the pain of higher mortgage rates. Homebuilding is typically a cyclical industry, following the ups and downs of the broader housing market. Of course, people will always move for reasons that have nothing to do with mortgage rates. Even if buyers get some relief from new housing construction, builders are still a long way off from bridging the housing shortfall.
