Builders are much more likely to give fancy concessions instead of a price drop. You'd have better luck asking for a new fence, a large patio, and a built-in barbecue than you are likely to have asking for a price drop.
But, it depends upon the builder's circumstances. So offer and see what happens.
inventory home from a large natl builder been on market for ~ 300 days
listed @ approx $200k
would a cash offer of $150-160k be reasonable?
There is no way for anyone here to answer that question without more info. The fist thing I will suggest, though, is that you take a good look at the inventory. Commonly, a builder will list ONE house in a development as the model, then use that house to sell the others as they are built. If the builder is selling one a week for the past 300 days, and each of them has sold for a final price above the list price of this one, then your offer (which is 20%-25% off that list) would probably not be taken seriously. If, on the other hand, this is one of 4 that have all been available for 300 days, with none selling, then your offer might be seen ase one worth negotiating, even if it's not accepted on the spot.
I ask, because many times the listing will be of a model..........but we're really talking about a to be built homes.
