New construction vs. resale

Converse has both newer subdivisions and established neighborhoods. Builder incentives change often, so compare each builder's current offer on its own website (terms apply, see builder), and bring your own agent to the first visit. With 52.8% of 78109 listings taking a price cut (Redfin, July 2026), resale homes can also be negotiable. See my new construction guide.
