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.
I have been in The Villages since 2005 and built two new construction houses. I have never heard of the "builder" negotiating the price of a new construction house. They will discount periodically if the inventory is too high or the market is slow.
