Actually, they have a base price and then a list price for each option added to the house.
When we were looking at new houses before buying here, we found more builders that are sticky with fixed prices for options that are based on their cost and markup percent. They do not round the price of the options. They just add the cost of each individual option to get the final price of the home. Thus, the odd selling prices.
