Tri Pointe Homes has the strongest package in Metro Denver this week: a year-one rate as low as 3.99% plus up to $40,000 in closing or design credit. Brookfield Residential has the lowest headline rate at 3.49%.
This week 97 new-home communities across the metro are advertising buyer promotions, down from 124 in early September. Fewer promos, but the ones still running are big, and most now run through the holidays or into January. Here is what each builder is offering, ranked the way that matters to your monthly payment.
Best rate offers
A lower rate cuts your payment every month, so we rank these first.
| Rank | Builder | Offer | Good through |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Brookfield Residential | Rates as low as 3.49% | Nov 30 |
| 2 | Tri Pointe Homes | Year-one rate as low as 3.99% (6.379% APR) on a conventional 30-year fixed with a 2/1 buydown | Jan 7 |
| 3 | Tri Pointe Homes | 30-year fixed conventional rate lock as low as 4.99% | Jan 7 |
| 4 | Taylor Morrison | Conventional 7/6 adjustable-rate mortgage with a temporary buydown, reduced rate for the first 7 years | Nov 30 |
| 5 | DRB Homes | Limited-time special rate offer through CMG Home Loans | Dec 31 |
| 6 | Risewell Homes | Financing offers designed to lower your monthly payment | Nov 30 |
| 7 | Richmond American | Holiday special financing on select homes | Jan 1 |
Taylor Morrison, DRB, Risewell and Richmond American don't publish a rate. Ask for the exact number and the APR before you compare. Offers apply to select homes and require the builder's preferred lender in most cases.
Biggest dollar incentives
| Rank | Builder | Offer | Good through |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | David Weekley Homes | Save up to $65,000 on a finished basement at The Aurora Highlands | Jan 1 |
| 2 | Tri Pointe Homes | Up to $40,000 in closing credit, OR up to $40,000 in design studio credit, OR a complimentary finished basement (varies by community) | Jan 7 |
| 3 | Taylor Morrison | Finished basement included in every home at The Enclave at Macanta Destination Collection | Dec 31 |
Tri Pointe's closing credit and design credit run $20,000 to $40,000 depending on the community. Basement offers add finished living space at no extra price, which adds value but does not lower your payment.
Other offers worth knowing
- Richmond American has promos at 26 metro communities, the most of any builder. That includes an employee offer for Lockheed Martin at Sterling Ranch in Littleton and a limited-time offer at Horizon Village in Bennett.
- Meritage Homes is cutting prices on quick move-in homes, with reductions up to about $40,000 on single homes at Skyview at High Point in Aurora.
- Century Communities is running a Hometown Heroes offer through Dec 31.
- Terrata Homes has quick move-in homes ready now.
- Ending this weekend: David Weekley's 4.99% fixed rate and LGI Homes' Make Your Move sales event both expire Nov 1.
Rate or cash: which wins?
A lower rate often beats a bigger cash number. On a $500,000 loan, a 4.99% fixed rate has a principal-and-interest payment about $398 a month lower than a 6.25% rate ($2,681 vs. $3,079). That is about $4,770 a year, every year you keep the loan.
Cash credits help at closing and pay off once. Temporary buydowns, like a 2/1, lower the payment only for the first years and then step up. Before you choose, ask for the payment both ways on the exact home, including the APR and how long the lower rate lasts. Example figures only, not a loan quote.

Want the community addresses?
Call or text 720-650-7648 for community addresses, current quick move-in homes, and the fine print on any offer above. Most builders require your agent to register you on your first visit, so reach out before you tour and keep your buyer representation and the incentive in place.
