4S Ranch–Builders not negotiating

[4spotentialbuyer]

We have been going to look at the available homes from the builders in 4S Ranch on a monthly basis for over 6 months now. In the winter months, the former salesperson at Pienza told us to make an offer as incentives were “negotiable.” Our friend bought one home at the end of December as the salesperson told her that builders were more likely to make concessions in December and if you waited until the near year, there would be less likely to make concessions. We did not think that was true, however, today, when we went to look at Pienza, the salespeople (who recognized us) just said that incentives were 15K and did not even try to help us out. They were downright hostile, rude, and acted as if this was a seller’s market…maybe because they knew we were looking to get a good deal. Are sales people at the buidlers paid on commission? Do they not want to negotiate because they will get less commsion? Despite the fact that they have 14 homes available, some which never sold in previous sales release and some that came back on the market as the buyer backed out….this builder acted as if they were holding all the cards and they could pick and choose their buyers. We are getting frustrated while waiting as it looks like prices are not coming down and that the deals were better in December 2007. Keep in mind that these are 3000 sq foot homes starting around 740K to 840K…not sure how they will find qualified buyers and yet they seem to think they will find many buyers.

It’s both amusing and frustrating for me when I see salespeople at new developments behave like this. I don’t know if they are instructed to do so, or they just do it out of their own resentment of the party being over. But the few sales people I have interacted with recently have this defensive attitude and big goofy grin on their face, and try their best to ignore the elephant in the room…that the bubble is over and a buyer with good credit and a large down $ holds all the cards now. Throw them an offer 20+% below the sheet price and see what happens.

I wouldn’t expect these guys to budge any on price now that the conforming loan limits are set to increase. You may have to wait until the end of the year to get a decent deal.

Alternatively, maybe there will be tons of qualified buyers under the new conforming guidelines and they’ll sell off those 14 homes in no time. Your tax dollars at work against you.
