Good afternoon!
The market in the 29229 area is just like everywhere else, it is taking a bit of time to sell houses, but those priced accordingly to the market are moving at normal rates. Of course, price and condition is everything in this market.
Builders are less likely to negotiate with a buyer directly without representation due to the fact they know they have you. As said below, a buyers agent is not paid by the buyer, you pay nothing for the service of a buyers agent. We are trained in negotiating techniques, and that is what purchasing a new home is all about...negotiation!
If I can be of any service, please do let me know.
