Rate buydowns
The biggest lever right now. Builders buy your interest rate down permanently or for the first years — but usually only through their preferred lender.

Where the Real Savings Are
2,564 Austin-area new construction homes are currently advertising a buyer incentive. The published incentive is rarely the whole story.
Closing cost credits
Often several thousand dollars, tied to using the in-house lender and title company. Worth comparing against an outside loan estimate.
Design center allowances
Free upgrades or a design dollar amount. Easy to overspend here — I help decide which upgrades hold resale value.
Standing inventory discounts
Completed homes sitting past quarter-end get the deepest price cuts. Timing matters more than negotiating.
