I love to negotiate on whatever I can but, having bought three new build homes throughout my life, actually like the "level playing field" of new home construction's structured pricing/sales.
I purchased a new build in TV summer 2023 and was told the builder used to negotiate years ago, but no longer does for a wide array of reasons. This market might just test that policy.

Not sure where you get your numbers from, but based upon the Lake County Property Appriser data (which admittedly is a little slow in recording), Lake Dedham is almost 87% sold (hardly plenty on hand) and Dabney is almost 1/3 sold. Newell is basically sold out, the only unsold are Harper Villas which I believe are being held back for Lifestyle visits.
