TIMESTAMPS

00:00 – 01:16
Builders are holding year-end “inventory review meetings” that decide January pricing and incentive cuts.

01:16 – 02:21
These decisions directly affect buyers in the next 90 days.

02:21 – 04:03
Builders analyze sales speed, inventory, margins, competitors, and demand to justify price increases.

04:03 – 05:09
Key signals prices are about to rise: lot scarcity, phase transitions, and incentive urgency.

05:09 – 06:52
Sales reps push buyers to lock incentives before they disappear; reduced negotiation flexibility follows.

06:52 – 08:35
Early phases are priced lower; later phases almost always cost more once demand is proven.

08:35 – 10:09
Builders slowed construction earlier in 2025 → inventory shortages likely in early 2026.

10:09 – 12:12
Inventory homes offer the biggest discounts due to builder carrying costs.

12:12 – 13:46
January resets pricing, incentives, sales targets, and lender programs—usually worse for buyers.

13:46 – 15:20
Best strategy: get pre-approved now and lock current pricing before increases hit.

15:20 – 18:42
Incentives shrink as demand rises; spring markets favor builders, not buyers.

18:42 – 21:50
Red flags: manufactured urgency, sudden price jumps, required lenders, verbal promises.

21:50 – 24:12
Action plan: secure financing, study pricing trends, compare incentives vs programs, and be ready to move fast.
