Buying a new spec home which hasn't been built yet, the lot still being assessed and it'll be another 5 or 6 months. We signed our contract and put down a 1k deposit as we were in a time crunch and they were letting us pick the lot we wanted before they decided on which model to place on said lot. They were offering 3k off if using a preferred lender but even they agreed that my current lender had the best offer. We are in a buyers market in this town and this is just one of more than 10+ builders in the area also making new homes (we just preferred the layout of this builder better)
I want to know how/when would be a good time or if it's even feasible to ask for a comp before we really buy the place, so far they haven't really budged but I don't even know how to really ask for these things... I'm not afraid to walk if they won't do this, it'll be a 1k lesson but at least I won't feel regret for the purchase. I wanted to ask them to comp the floors.... And do all tile vs tile and carpet, they stated it would cost me an extra 3k if I pay them to do it. There's a lot of things this builder doesn't include that others do (screened in porch, cabinet handles, soft close drawers etc) idk what angle I even have.
Tldr: how do I nicely but successfully convince new builder to comp the floors on a new build, how to not take no for answer I guess?
