When building a new home can you negotiate the price of the house?
I have found a neighborhood with new homes being built that I love. I know at this time they do not have a lot of new buyers. I like a one floor plain that is right in my price range. But I like a higher price elevation. It is 00 more. I cant add any more to the cost of the home. This is a buyers markets and there are alot more home to be sold even outside of this neighbrhood.

You can negotiate up to the point you sign a contract.
Work out all the things you want into the contract, then offer him something like 5k less than asking, plus the add ons. You might even start lower than that, because here’s what you have to remember:
The worst thing he can do is say NO, leaving you where you are now. He’ll counter with something higher, but it costs you nothing to ask.
