My husband and I are looking to move to a new townhome sometime soon. A community we’re interested in has 2 Homes w/ immediate availability w/in our budget that suit our needs. Even though we can/could afford them, we feel that we should be able to negotiate a price lower than their asking price. The cost of the home for the area seems a little high, and the market is supposedly a “buyers market”, so we feel there should be some bargaining room. However the community says they’re “selling well” – I don’t know if that’s b.s. or the truth, though.
I’m familiar to negotiating tactics on an existing home/older home Sale, but completely green to new home Sales…
BTW –
Here’s the links to the development and town we’re looking at, maybe that can help your answers…

Thank you for your help – I appreciate it alot…
I’ve been pulling and printing listing of current Homes on the market in the area, as well as Homes sold w/in the last few months for price comparison ideas. Should I take these things w/ me to argue my price?
Also – we have been preapproved, and have good credit. The community says that if we work w/ their lender (we’re going for a 30yr fixed FHA) they will pay all closing costs (big bonus to us!) so we do want to work w/ their people. Btw – do new home communities do Good Faith Estimates like local lending offices do? Just curious.
Thanks for your answers so far! Its very informative, and I hope to see more… 
Thank you again!
