Pricing & Value

The Pricing & Value glossary explains how builders translate buyer demand and comp signals into practical base pricing, option strategy, and margin protection.

What is base versus all-in pricing?

Base price is the published starting price; all-in price includes lot premium, elevation, options, and financing-related adjustments.

What is variable margin pricing?

Variable margin pricing applies different markup levels by option type based on shopper comparability and perceived value.
