Why isn't this information publicly available?
Builder incentive programs change monthly — sometimes weekly. Builders do not advertise them publicly because they do not want the full picture out there. I maintain direct relationships with builder reps across the valley and compile this data every month. The full report includes exact pricing, lot numbers, incentive amounts, and close dates for all 17 communities I track.

Before you tour a single model home, understand what these terms mean in real dollars. Builders use specific language — here is the translation.
Fixed Rate Buydown
Builder pays to permanently lower your interest rate. On a $500K loan the difference between a buydown rate and market rate can be over $1,400 per month — every month for the life of the loan.
Typical lifetime value: $40,000 – $80,000+
1/0 Rate Buydown
Your rate is reduced for year one only, then returns to the prevailing rate. Best for buyers planning to refinance when rates drop — saves $700–$900/month in year one.
Year 1 savings: ~$700 – $900/month
Closing Cost Credit
Builder credits a percentage of the purchase price toward your closing costs. On a $500K home a 6% credit equals $30,000 less cash you need to bring to closing day.
6% on $500K = $30,000 less at closing
West Price / No Financing
A lower purchase price offered when you waive the rate incentive and bring your own financing or cash. Best if you already have a competitive rate locked elsewhere.
Typically 1–3% below the incentive price
