The math behind the claim

Same monthly payment. Brand-new home.

A builder rate buydown can put a new build within reach of a resale payment. Pick the structure and make the numbers yours.

Temporary: a lower payment the first two years, then it settles at your locked rate. The builder credit pays for it.

Resale

P&I at 6.59%

New build · yr 1

$1,946

/mo

P&I at 4.59%

The new build is $479/mo lower in year one

How the new-build payment steps up

Year 1 (4.59%)$1,946/mo
Year 2 (5.59%)$2,179/mo
Years 3–30 (6.59%)$2,424/mo

From year 3 on, the payment is the same as the resale. The builder credit makes the first two years cheaper while you settle in.

This 2-1 buydown costs $8,687. The builder's $10,000 credit covers it in full, with $1,313 left toward closing costs.

Your real rate. The 2-1 only lowers the first two years.

Buydown

Yr 1 is 2% lower, yr 2 is 1% lower.

Funds the 2-1 buydown above. Any remainder goes to closing.

Estimates only, not a loan offer or commitment. Figures show principal and interest at the rates above. Taxes, insurance, HOA dues, and PMI are excluded on both sides. A 2-1 buydown lowers the payment for the first two years only; from year three on it equals the full-rate payment. The buydown cost shown is the total subsidy for those two years. Actual payments vary by lender, loan program, and qualification. Rate assumptions as of May 29, 2026.

We will run a true side-by-side on an actual home and current builder offer. No cost, no obligation.

Why our list looks different

We track every active builder incentive across Charlotte metro and refresh the list weekly. We're not affiliated with any builder, and we don't run preferred-builder partnerships. When you're ready to tour, we represent you — not the builder — and we negotiate the offer, the upgrades, and the closing terms on your behalf. Builder sales reps work for the builder. We work for you.

Want the full list?

We'll email it now and ping you the moment a new offer drops or an old one's about to expire.

Charlotte Builder Incentives: Common Questions

What builder incentives are available in Charlotte right now?

As of the latest verification, 118 active buyer incentives are available across 16 Charlotte-area builders, with offers ranging up to $62,625. Common types include rate buydowns, closing cost assistance, design center credits, and price reductions on move-in-ready inventory homes. Specific offers change weekly, so the live list on this page is the current verified set.

Are builder incentives negotiable?

Posted incentives are typically the baseline, not the ceiling. Additional concessions, design center credits, and rate buydown amounts can often be negotiated, especially on quick move-in inventory homes that have been sitting. Builders rarely move on sticker price, but almost everything else is on the table. A buyer's agent who tracks current builder offers across the metro can usually push for a stronger package than what's posted publicly.

Can I stack a builder incentive with my own lender financing?

Most builders tie their best incentives to using their preferred lender, since rate buydowns and closing cost credits typically require it. You can usually still bring outside financing, but you'll often forfeit some or all of the incentive. The right move is to run both scenarios: the builder's preferred lender with full incentives versus an outside lender at market rate without. Sometimes the outside lender still wins on total cost; sometimes the builder package is genuinely better. Don't decide until you've seen both numbers in writing.

Do I need a buyer agent to access these incentives?

No. These incentives are available to any buyer who qualifies under the builder's terms. But the builder pays a buyer-agent commission whether you bring representation or not, so walking in alone means the builder keeps that money rather than crediting it to you. A buyer's agent doesn't cost you anything out of pocket on new construction, and they can often negotiate additional concessions on top of the posted incentives.

How often is this list updated?

Active builder incentives across the Charlotte metro are verified and updated weekly. Expired offers are removed automatically; new offers are added as builders publish them. The page shows the date of the most recent verification at the top.
