🏗️ Two builders, two offers. How do you compare them?

Builders often compete with incentives. One may offer a lower price, and another may offer a rate buydown. With rates near 7.4%, a buydown can lower your monthly payment for the first few years. After that period ends, your payment goes up to the full rate. A low payment today does not always mean a lower cost overall.

Put both offers side by side and compare these five things:

✅ Final price. Look at the price after all incentives and upgrades are counted.
✅ Monthly payment, now and later. Check the payment during the buydown and after it ends.
✅ Closing costs. Ask what the builder pays and what you pay. Some builders only help if you use their preferred lender.
✅ Move-in date. Get the estimated date in writing. A delay can mean extra rent or a rate lock that expires.
✅ Warranty. Ask what is covered, for how long, and how to file a claim.

Read each offer in full before you sign. Incentives often come with conditions.

🤝 A buyer asks you to help with closing costs. What now?

Rates are high. The 30-year fixed rate is 7.28%, and that makes monthly payments hard for many buyers. Some ask the seller to cover part of their closing costs so they can keep their cash. Saying yes can keep a deal together, but it changes what you take home.

Before you answer, check three things:

💰 Your net. Seller-paid closing costs come out of your proceeds. Find out the exact dollar amount.
📊 A price cut. Compare the same dollar amount as a lower price. Sometimes one option costs you less than the other.
🏦 The buyer’s loan. Each loan type limits how much a seller can pay. Ask the buyer’s lender what is allowed before you agree.

Run both numbers side by side, then decide. A quick answer can cost you more than you expect.

🏗️ Selling before new construction pays off. Here’s why listing early in Palm Beach County can give you an edge.

Palm Beach County single-family inventory is down about 24% from last year (Aug. 2026, Florida Realtors). Builders are adding supply, though. New residential permits in the county rose 10% in the first half of 2026, while Florida overall fell 7% (HBW).

Why list early:
✅ Fewer homes competing with yours today
✅ New builds can give buyers more choices later
✅ Time to prep and price before more homes arrive

If you’re thinking about selling soon, or your listing expired, Keith McPherson can walk through how your home compares with nearby listings.

📋 Resale, builder inventory, or build from scratch? A buyer agent helps you compare.

Lennar, one of the nation’s largest builders, says nearly half of visitors to its communities in many markets can’t immediately qualify for a mortgage (Sept. 2026). Get pre-approved first so you know your budget.

🛡️ Can your home get insured? Florida buyers are asking first.

The good news: the market is calmer than it was. Citizens, the state’s insurer of last resort, is down to about 266,000 policies (Aug. 2026). That is more than 80% below its 2023 peak of about 1.4 million, as policies move to private insurers.

Before you list:
✅ Check your roof age and condition
✅ Fix old wiring and active leaks
✅ Gather permits and inspection reports, like a wind mitigation report
✅ Get a sample insurance quote ready

Easy to insure means easier to sell.

💬 DM or comment “INSURE” to request a pre-listing insurance checklist from Keith McPherson.

💰 Looking for value? New construction may surprise you.

Nationally, the median new home sold for $393,700 in August 2026, about 6% below a year ago (Census, preliminary). In September, 38% of builders cut prices, by about 6% on average. Two-thirds offered incentives (NAHB).

Common perks:
✅ Rate buydowns
✅ Closing cost help
✅ Free upgrades

Compare the full deal, not just the price. Ask what happens if you use your own lender.

📉 Appraisal came in low? Don’t panic. It happens in a shifting market.

In Palm Beach County, the typical single-family home sold about 5.2% under its original asking price in September 2026. The median price is up 7% from last year, but not every street moves the same way. That makes it tricky for an appraiser to match recent sales (BeachesMLS).

Here are your options:
✅ Ask the lender for a review with better nearby sales
✅ Renegotiate the price
✅ Split the gap between buyer and seller
✅ Buyer covers the gap in cash

Your options depend on your contract terms. A low number can be fixed if you act early.

🌊 Selling in Florida? Buyers will ask about flood and wind coverage. Be ready.

Florida sellers must give buyers a flood disclosure form at or before contract signing. Since Oct. 1, 2025, it also asks about any known flood damage while you owned the home. It also covers flood insurance claims you filed and any flood aid you received. Standard homeowners insurance does not cover flood.

✅ Share an elevation certificate if you have one
✅ Share roof and window info
✅ Gather past insurance quotes
✅ Be upfront

Questions about the form? Ask your attorney.

🏡 Resale or new construction? Compare these four things:

📍 Location
🔧 Upkeep
🎨 Customizing
📅 Move-in date

By the numbers: St. Lucie County single-family homes had 4.9 months of supply in August 2026 (Florida Realtors). Nationally, builders had 8.5 months of new homes for sale (Census Bureau).

Resale: often closer to town and ready now.
New: modern systems, fewer early repairs, builder deals.

🏘️ Thinking about a townhome in Broward County? Here’s why buyers like them.

Townhomes made up about 17% of new single-family home starts nationwide in Q2 2026, near a record high (NAHB). Broward’s median single-family price was $650,000 in September 2026, up 4% from last year (BeachesMLS). Townhomes often cost less than a detached home.

✅ Less upkeep than a big yard
✅ Parks and shared amenities
✅ Neighbors close by

Check HOA fees and rules first.

💬 DM or comment “TOWNHOME” to request Broward townhome options from Keith McPherson.
