Market for new and existing homes related? • Are the market for new homes and the market for existing homes related? How? Explain. • From my point of view, they are related. For example, If there was 1000 buyers in the market looking for a house to buy and they are only buying one for living. One more of those buyer buy an existing home that means one less person will buy a new home. Therefore, If 500 of them buy a new home, that means only 500 of them will buy an existing home. If there is no existing home available, Those 500 buyer who buy an existing home might look for a new home to buy, then the demand for new home will increase.
