Compare apples to apples
New-home community comparison
Three grouped tables compare product type, corridor, amenities, and who each community fits best. Compare townhomes to townhomes. Compare single-family to single-family.
Register with Citadel before you tour or fill out a builder form. We introduce you and advocate on price, upgrades, warranty, and the contract. Any closing credit is paid only from compensation we actually receive, needs lender approval, follows the minimum service fee in your written buyer agency agreement, and fees are negotiable.
Rates, closing costs, HOA, and current promos change too fast to publish here. Request a consult and we will walk you through a live comparison on your short list. Credit is not a rebate, not guaranteed, and not why you hire us. Compensation depends on what that builder and community actually pay. Broker compensation is not set by law and is fully negotiable. Some builders pay reduced or flat compensation. We confirm each community in writing before you tour.

No buyer-broker compensation percentages, rates, or closing cost figures on this page. We confirm compensation and incentives in writing before you tour. Advertised days on market on new construction often reflects when the builder listed the spec, not how long a finished home has sat.
