Why incentives exist
Builders use incentives around their inventory cycle—to launch a phase, secure early sales, or move completed homes. That can create real value, especially on selected floorplans and quick-possession inventory.
The offer still serves the builder’s timeline. Your job is to decide whether the home and its terms serve yours.
Look beyond the headline
Common offers and what to confirm
A promotion’s real value depends on its details, restrictions, and whether you would have paid for the item yourself.
Mortgage rate promotion
Confirm: Full mortgage terms—not only the advertised rate
Garage development
Confirm: Size, specifications, permits, and completion timing
Basement development
Confirm: Layout, ceiling height, permits, and finish quality
Appliance package
Confirm: Brand, models, warranty, delivery, and upgrade flexibility
Landscaping
Confirm: Scope, season, timing, and community requirements
Upgrade package
Confirm: Value to you—not simply the builder’s retail price
Bottom line: Compare the total home, contract, and monthly cost—not the promotion with the biggest headline number.
