Deal of the Week

When you’re thinking about buying a home in Austin, TX, or anywhere across Central Texas, timing can feel like everything. Interest rates, inventory, and incentives shift weekly—and what might be out of reach today, could turn into your smartest investment tomorrow. That’s why we launched Holley Homes Realty’s ‘Deal of the Week’—your go-to spotlight for standout new construction homes, strategic mortgage options, and real-time local market insights. Let’s get into what makes this week’s deal worth a closer look.

This Week’s Featured Deal

• Featured Builder: D.R. Horton
• Locations: Select communities across Central Texas
• Deal: 3.99% Fixed Rate FHA Mortgage | 4.825% APR
• Available: Contract between 6/2/25 and 7/31/25

For qualified buyers using FHA financing, this promotion offers a below-market 30-year fixed rate with only 3.5% down. On a home priced at $336,234, that’s a loan of $330,144—and a monthly payment around $2,410. This includes principal, interest, estimated taxes, mortgage insurance, homeowners insurance, and HOA dues. The rate is also available for VA and USDA programs.

Now, is this the right time for *you* to buy? Let’s unpack it honestly.

Should You Buy Now?

Let’s cut through the noise: It’s not always a great time to buy. But if you’re ready to buy—because of life, family, stability, or investment goals—then the right opportunity is worth knowing about. And that’s what this feature is all about. With current mortgage rates still higher than the pandemic lows but showing signs of softening, builders are getting competitive with their financing. These kinds of promotions can shave hundreds off your monthly payment and make that new construction home more attainable. The key is to know your numbers, know your timeline, and align with a local expert (hey, that’s us) to guide your path forward.

What Makes This a Good Deal?

Here’s why this opportunity stands out:

• Lower Monthly Payment: Sub-4% interest rates are rare right now—especially on new construction.
• Builder Incentives: In many cases, D.R. Horton is offering additional perks like closing cost assistance or appliance packages.
• Modern Homes, Move-In Ready: These aren’t fixer-uppers. You’re buying new, efficient, and under warranty.
• Location, Location: Many of these homes are in fast-growing areas like Buda, Georgetown, Bastrop, and San Marcos—offering long-term upside.

FAQs: Deal of the Week Edition

​

Where can I find affordable homes near Austin?

We’re currently seeing value in emerging communities like Bastrop, San Marcos, and parts of Kyle and Buda. These markets still offer relative affordability with quick commutes to Austin.

What’s the catch with these builder incentives?

Incentives often require using the builder’s preferred lender, and you may need to close within a tight timeline. That’s why having a plan (and a preapproval) ready helps you move fast if it’s the right fit.

What if I’m not ready to buy just yet?

No pressure. Truly. The goal here is to educate and empower. If you're six months out, let’s use this time to prepare. We'll build a game plan, explore financing, and watch for the right opportunity together.
