What is negotiable on this home?

Here is what this listing's numbers say about the builder's position.

• On the market 98 daysWorth knowing

  Past the 90-day mark is where most builders start getting more flexible on concessions, even while holding the published price.

• Reduced $1,000 (0%)Worth knowing

  Originally listed at $395,900. 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.

• Pre-constructionContext

  Nothing is built yet, so there are no carrying costs pressuring the builder. The trade is that you get design-center control and first pick of lots instead.
