Greater Charlotte · Weekly roundup

MAKE MOVES WITH RICKY.

Track current incentives from major builders by neighborhood — closing credits, price cuts, and the fine print that actually matters — then request guidance before you tour or go under contract.

Independent site by Ricky Peters (NMLS #2000752). Not an official Coldwell Banker or builder website. Offers checked against official builder sources on Nov 5, 2026.

Recheck before you tour or contract.

Builder offers change without notice, apply to select homes, and often require the builder’s affiliated lender or title company. Terms, funds, and inventory can run out. Confirm every incentive with the builder’s sales team before relying on it. This site does not offer builder rates; Southend Financial can help you compare the full financing package.
