The Builder Incentive Checklist
Most builder incentives never make the flyer. Take this to your visit and ask each one out loud.
Are there design-center credits available?
A dollar figure toward finishes. A clear answer names the amount and what it applies to.
Is there flex cash I can put toward price or closing costs?
"Flex" money is the most useful because you choose where it goes. Ask if it's flexible or restricted.
What closing-cost assistance is on the table?
A builder contribution. Ask for the number in writing, not a range.
Can the lot premium come down on lots that have sat?
Premiums aren't fixed. On an overlooked lot, a reduction is a fair thing to ask for.
What's included — appliances, blinds, fencing?
Common gaps in a new build. A good answer lists exactly what conveys and what doesn't.
Do the incentives change if I don't use the preferred lender?
Get the answer both ways and compare the full picture, not just the rate.
Are rate-buydown options available?
A question for your lender and the builder, not something I provide. Ask what a buydown would cost and how long it lasts.
Does timing help — is this quarter-end or month-end?
Builders track sales by period. A visit near a deadline can change what they'll do.
Which community are you looking at?
Send it over and I'll tell you what incentives are actually running there right now — the ones on the flyer and the ones that aren't.

I've lived in 7 states across 20+ homes — as a renter, an owner, and an investor. I know which levers actually move.
