South Houston New BuildsActive builder communities in League City, Friendswood, Pearland, Dickinson, and Manvel — from master-planned developments to quick move-in specs. Independent REALTOR® representation that doesn't change the price you pay.
This month — builders are buying down rates & adding closing-cost credits. See the current list, free.
The builder’s on-site sales agent has one job: maximize the builder’s profit. They’re professionals at it. Everything you learn about that home, that contract and that community comes from someone paid by the other side of the table.
Most production builders now build spec — homes designed, started and finished before a buyer ever walks in. It keeps their costs predictable and their schedules short. It also means you aren’t choosing finishes or negotiating options. You’re choosing between finished houses, and the leverage sits in price, terms, and knowing which house.
Phil has over 20 years in real estate, with experience as a mortgage lender, REALTOR® and investor. On a new build the negotiation is financing-shaped, so that second half matters as much as the first — and working with him doesn’t change the price you pay for the home or get you a worse deal.
You’re not doing this alone, trusting the builder to tell you what you need to know.
Builders are moving rate buydowns, closing-cost credits, and price cuts every month — and the deals change constantly. Phil tracks them across every active community with real, current MLS data. Tell him where you're looking and he'll send the current list.
Register with Phil before you visit a model home — it's how you keep independent representation and your negotiating leverage.

Ask Phil →Do I need a REALTOR® to buy new construction?
Yes — and working with your own REALTOR® doesn't change the price you pay or get you a worse deal. Builder sales agents work for the builder, not you. Bringing Phil gives you independent representation to negotiate price and terms, review the contract, and protect your interests through closing. How the buyer's-agent commission is handled is part of the agreement, and Phil explains it before you sign anything.
What new construction communities are near League City TX?
Active builder communities include Legacy, Westland Ranch, and Coastal Point in League City (CCISD); Legacy and Friendswood Trails in Friendswood (FISD); Massey Oaks and Alexander in Pearland (Alvin ISD); Peacock Isle in Dickinson (Dickinson ISD); Toll Brothers at Midline in Webster/Clear Lake (CCISD); and Valencia, Pomona, Meridiana, Del Bello Lakes, and Avellino in Manvel (Alvin ISD). Prices range from the mid $250s to $1M+ depending on community and builder.
How much does new construction cost near League City TX?
New construction starts as low as the mid $250s at Avellino in Manvel (KB Home). Westland Ranch in League City starts from the $270s. Manvel and Pearland communities (Meridiana, Pomona, Massey Oaks) typically run from the low $300s to high $400s. League City CCISD communities (Legacy, Coastal Point) start in the high $300s to $400s. Friendswood FISD new construction starts from the $400s to $600s. The floor plan, the lot premium, and the upgrade package already in a given house are what move it above that base price.
How long does it take to build a new home?
Production builders complete homes in about 4–6 months. A home already under construction when you contract will be shorter than that, and a finished quick move-in can close in 30–60 days. Phil tracks the timeline and attends the inspection and both walk-throughs.
Can I negotiate on a new construction home?
Yes — builders rarely reduce base price but regularly offer incentives: included upgrade packages, closing cost contributions, preferred-lender rate buydowns, or appliances. Leverage is highest at quarter-end when builders need to hit sales targets. Phil knows which builders are negotiating and when, and he has existing relationships that typically produce better outcomes than going in alone.
