Builder incentives right now are pretty hard to beat. 🏡
Our Division President & Broker, Rachel Lowell, breaks it down:
“One of the most appealing incentives that people are jumping at are the interest rate buydowns. In normal re-sale transactions, any sort of rate buydown is treated as a cost at closing (to either the buyer or the seller)…and it can add up fast!
With some of the larger builders we work with, the builders are able to ‘buy’ huge blocks of money at a given rate upfront. This enables their in-house lenders to offer rates FAR below market and what any other lender can typically offer. From what I’ve seen, it’s a game-changer for most buyers! It increases their purchasing power substantially.
This also translates into other incentives being offered for investors. If they aren’t taking advantage of the rate buydowns due to their loan status, we are seeing builders offering other great options…. truly making these new construction homes turn-key, and offering programs like Marketplace Homes’ Guaranteed Lease to secure a tenant and rent income even before they close.
It’s really making the new construction world the place to be right now for both homeowners and investors alike.”
The window on these incentives won’t stay open forever. Right now, smart investors are locking in below-market rates, stepping into truly turn-key properties, and securing guaranteed rental income before they even reach the closing table. That’s cash flow from day one with less friction than a traditional resale. Our relationships with top builders give our clients access to deals that simply aren’t available anywhere else. If you’re building or growing a real estate portfolio, new construction deserves a serious look.
