For New Home Builders, it's the End of their Fiscal Year - and The Fun Begins !
Every year... right about this time... just like clockwork... it happens.  No, I don't mean it's Cowboy's Time.  And NO, it's not yet time to turn your clocks back.  It is the time of year when several of the major New Home Builders in Tarrant County see the end of their Fiscal Year approaching... and let the word out that they will pretty much do just about anything to squeeze in "one more closing" before their fiscal time-clock runs out.
What will they do ?  Well, it all depends.  First, it depends on how many completed homes the builder has "sitting" at that time.  It also varies depending on the specific model or floorplan.  They may only have one or two of a floorplan that sells well, so in that case... they are less likely to negotiate, although many things are still possible.  They may replace carpet with tile, replace carpet with hardwood, upgrade appliances, or include a washer, dryer and refrigerator at no cost.
If the floorplan you happen to like is one that the builder has a pretty good "overstock" on... even more may be possible.
What kinds of things do Home Builders NOT like to negotiate on?  Pricing is probably the touchiest item for ... more
