These properties are marketed privately to a limited audience rather than broadly advertised to the public. Supporters point to privacy and flexibility, while critics argue...

Experts encourage homebuyers to understand the various types of incentives, when and why they're offered, and how to make the most of these deals before buying a new-construction home.
