ParticipantI admit my naievity. Aren’t there time during the year when new car dealers are more motivated to reduce price? In August they start getting next year’s new cars. By October they have to make room for the new cars and wheel and deal. If a car is not so popular, they will reduce it to clear out the inventory.
My friend tried to get a Jeep Rubicon last year. Impossible to get or find. Waiting list. He gave up and bought something else. Still hard to find, but he’s happy w/his new vehicle.
I guess two thing happen. Eventually price gets reduced or you find something else at a price you like.

ParticipantI have read somewhere that builders rather not negotiate the asking price and prefer to offer buyers upgrades and other freebies instead. A lower sales price for one buyer can affect the asking prices for the remaining inventory. And that would cost them more than giving you a one time upgrade. Do you think this is true?

ParticipantRaymond this is very true. Keeping the sales price is paramount for builders because of the pricing for subsequent phases. Not to mention the fact that previous phase buyers would not be to happy on immediate depreciation. Upgrades, freebies, and all other sorts of closing costs incentives are the most common lines of defense. Similarly this is the same reason why when you go to a developer without an agent, and ask the developer to reduce the price by what they would pay an agent, they will not do it.
