It seems quite plausible that Mrs. Parr did not tell the sales staff until they were authorized to release the information; or that she told them, but they were not authorized to release the information until yesterday.
Bottom line, only 200 people will get the discount. Had your friends waited, they might or might not have been among the lucky. If they were, then two other home buyers among the lucky 200 would not have been.
Do you see what I mean?

I agree. It is unfortunate, but you will see that is how things are done here.
We bought our first house here, an already built new home, over three years ago and they were not building homes FOR anyone at that time. PERIOD. Three weeks later they were. Our rep didn't know and it is because they do NOT tell the staff until something is a go.
We were shopping for Premier lots in Pennecamp in April and they were offering a 20K discount until the end of the month and we missed it. We couldn't decide, we had two houses that were not finished being sold and we didn't want to commit. It is what it is.
They have no problem finding people who are ready at that moment. The same with a furnished model. When it goes up, it goes up. If you are ready you can buy it if you want to buy it. They run this like a business and it seems to be working for them...
And for us.
P.S. Others will tell you here on this forum that discounts are offered periodically to finish up areas probably.
P.P.S. Are you sure that they didn't say that it won't be offered past the end of the month? Or some other such wording? I didn't believe them either but at the end of the month the discount was gone on the lots in Pennecamp and so were all the view lots.
