Tricks for developer is incentive, incentive and incentive. They will do everything to protect the sale price. Because a low sale price will lower the value of the rest of his inventory. The sale price is public but the incentive is behind the table.
Last time I visited Portico, also in Pacific highland ranch, in Feb, they were offering 30K on a finished house of 799K. If you want to buy now, remember to ask for 10 to 20% of sale price in incentives.
