Sandi, it very well could have happened. I was up at 4S two weeks ago with some clients and we tried negotiating and got shut down pretty hard. The best opportunities when you deal with the builders is to try to find something that has dropped out of escrow and is REALLY close to closing. You may even get them to budge. Otherwise I have had a hard time getting much out of them. You can get concessions with regards to upgrades and such, but getting the pricing adjusted is tougher. However if someone got the builder to go significantly lower then more power to them!
