Quarterly and ad-hoc analysis of what's actually happening in the Painted Prairie market — including the slices a standard MLS pull won't surface.
The Painted Prairie market is not a normal resale market. Nine builders are still selling new construction across the community, which means resale homes are being priced against an active builder price sheet a few blocks away. Market reports written for typical resale neighborhoods miss this dynamic entirely. The pieces in this category focus on what to actually track at Painted Prairie — builder base prices, lot premium movements, incentive cycles, design center allowances, and how all of that interacts with the comparable resale data.
New builds and resales appraise differently. How comps, upgrades and builder incentives shape the appraisal at Painted Prairie, and what to do if it comes in low.
Builders absorb rate swings with buydowns and credits before touching sticker price. How to read that signal if you're buying or selling.
Absorption rate and months of supply are standard market metrics that behave differently at a community where builders keep resupplying inventory.
Builder incentive cycles, phase transitions, and the seasonal patterns that matter most when timing a Painted Prairie purchase. The answer isn't always "as soon as possible."
What to actually track at a master-planned community where nine builders are still selling next door to every resale. Standard market reports miss most of it.
