Builder Incentives Can Make a Bigger Difference Than You Think
Builders periodically offer financing incentives, closing-cost assistance, design-center credits, quick move-in discounts, and other promotions. Availability varies by builder, community, home, lender, and buyer qualification.
Rate Buydowns
Some builders offer financing incentives that may reduce the buyer's initial or ongoing mortgage payment.
Closing-Cost Assistance
Select communities may offer credits toward eligible buyer closing costs.
Design Credits
Some builders provide upgrades or design-center allowances on qualifying homes.
Quick Move-In Opportunities
Completed or near-completed homes may occasionally receive stronger incentives.
We'll notify you when matching opportunities become available.
Current offers we're tracking
Builder incentives, financing offers, credits and rates vary by community, home, lender, availability and buyer qualification. Offers may change or expire without notice. Verify current terms before purchase. Builder incentives, financing programs, prices, and availability are provided for informational purposes and may change or be discontinued without notice. Offers may apply only to select homes, communities, lenders, owner-occupants, or qualified buyers. Rates are not guaranteed. Joshua Heraldez and First Team Real Estate are not affiliated with or endorsed by the builders or their affiliated lenders. Buyers should review all builder and lender terms before making a decision.

Buyer stories
Helping Southern California Buyers Navigate New Construction
- First-time buyer
“We honestly assumed resale was our only option. Seeing the new-build numbers side by side with a couple of resale homes made it way easier to decide what made sense for us.”
First-time buyers, Inland Empire
- Move-up buyer
“We needed more space for the kids and a home office. Narrowing it down to three communities before we ever walked into a sales office saved us a lot of weekends.”
Growing family, Orange County
- Used builder incentives
“The builder incentive was the difference for us. Having someone explain how the rate buydown actually changed our monthly payment helped us feel confident.”

Good to know
Before You Walk Into a Builder Sales Office…
The builder's sales representative works for the builder. Buyers may choose to have their own real estate agent help them through the process. Many builders also require your agent to be registered on your first visit, so it helps to decide before you go.
Learn How Buyer Representation WorksYour own agent can help you:
- Compare communities
- Review builder incentives
- Understand contracts and timelines
- Coordinate inspections
- Evaluate resale alternatives
- Navigate the purchase process
