If you’re buying a new construction home in Texas, there’s a good chance you qualify for a cash rebate worth up to 2.5% of the home price—but most buyers don’t even know it’s available.
Let’s break down exactly what you need to qualify, how it works, and how to avoid losing this rebate opportunity.
✅ Quick Rebate Eligibility Checklist
Answer these questions:
Are you planning to buy a new construction home from a builder in Texas?
Have you not yet signed a contract with the builder?
Are you willing to work with a licensed Texas REALTOR® who offers buyer rebates?
Will you allow your agent to register with the builder before your first visit or online inquiry?
Is your lender okay with buyer agent rebates (most are, with proper disclosure)?
If you said yes to all of the above—you qualify.
💰 What’s the Rebate Worth?
Most rebate-savvy agents in Texas offer between 1.5% and 2.5% of the home price as a rebate.
Home Price | 2.5% Rebate | You Could Save… |
$400,000 | $10,000 | Closing cost coverage or furniture |
$600,000 | $15,000 | Rate buydown or upgrade fund |
$800,000 | $20,000 | Full closing costs + move-in cash |
All rebates must be disclosed and approved by your lender.
🏠 What Types of Homes Are Eligible?
✅ Inventory homes✅ To-be-built homes✅ Quick move-ins✅ Homes from national and local builders (Lennar, Highland, Perry, MI Homes, etc.)❌ Not valid for resale homes❌ Not available if you’ve already signed a builder contract without an agent
🚫 How Buyers Accidentally Disqualify Themselves
Visiting a model home without registering a REALTOR®
Filling out an online interest form on the builder’s website without an agent
Signing a contract directly with the builder rep (who represents the builder, not you)
Using an agent who doesn’t offer rebates or who won’t share commission
📋 Lender Requirements You Should Know
Most lenders will approve the rebate if:
It is listed clearly on the closing disclosure (CD)
It is applied toward closing costs or reflected as a post-close check
You’re not receiving more than your total out-of-pocket expenses (i.e. no “cash profit”)
Tip: Talk to your lender early and have your agent handle the coordination.
💡 Still Unsure?
Here’s a quick way to know:
If you're buying new, haven’t signed anything, and are working with a rebate-offering REALTOR® who registers you up front—you’re in.
🧭 Final Thoughts
Most buyers never realize this rebate is even available—until it’s too late. The builder won’t bring it up. The sales rep won’t suggest it. You have to know what to ask for and how to claim it.
