What is negotiable on this home?

This listing shows real leverage signals. Here is what its own numbers say.

• On the market 304 daysStrong signal

  Past six months on a finished home means the builder has been carrying taxes, insurance, and interest on it the whole time. That cost is real and it is why concessions get easier the longer a home sits.

• Reduced $1,500,000 (58%)Strong signal

  Originally listed at $2,600,000. A builder that has already cut once has acknowledged the first number did not work. That is a different conversation than one who has never moved.

• Still under constructionContext

  The builder has money in the ground but no finished house to carry, so there is less pressure than on standing inventory. The upside is that some finish selections are usually still open.
