New Year, New Home: Start 2026 With a 4.75% 30-Year Fixed Rate + $5,000 Move-In Package

Posted on January 6, 2026 in

A new year brings new goals, and for many homebuyers, 2026 is the year to finally make a move. Whether you’re planning to buy your first home, upgrade to more space, or simplify your lifestyle with a move-in-ready home, New Home Inc is kicking off the year with one of our strongest incentives yet.

Qualified buyers can take advantage of rates as low as 4.75% on a 30-year fixed mortgage with Government Loans, plus up to $25,000 in interest rate reductions on select move-in ready homes. To make the move even easier, you can also choose a move-in package valued up to $5,000, designed to help you settle in with confidence from day one.

This New Year incentive is available on new contracts written between January 1 and January 31, 2026, and it applies to select homes across our thoughtfully planned communities. If you’ve been watching rates, waiting for the right opportunity, or hoping for a sign that now is the time, this is it.


A Powerful Start to 2026: 4.75% 30-Year Fixed Rate on Government Loans

Mortgage rates play a major role in long-term affordability, and securing a lower fixed rate can make a meaningful difference in your monthly payment and total cost of ownership. That’s why this incentive is designed with serious homebuyers in mind.

Through this limited-time New Year offer, qualified buyers using Government Loans, such as FHA, VA, or USDA, may lock in a 4.75% fixed interest rate for 30 years on select move-in ready homes. This stability offers peace of mind in an ever-changing market, helping you plan your finances with confidence.

In addition, buyers can apply up to $25,000 toward interest rate reductions, further enhancing affordability. These funds are applied strategically to help lower your rate, reduce payments, and maximize long-term savings.

Important details to keep in mind:

  • Government Loans required

  • Minimum 660 credit score

  • Interest rates subject to change without notice

  • Incentives apply only to eligible homes and contracts written January 1–31, 2026

Our team works closely with trusted lending partners to help you understand how these savings apply to your situation, making the process clear and approachable from start to finish.


Choose Your $5,000 Move-In Package and Make the Home Yours

Buying a home is about more than the loan, it’s about how it feels when you walk through the front door. That’s why this New Year incentive includes something many buyers truly value: flexibility.

With this offer, you can choose a move-in package valued up to $5,000, allowing you to personalize your new home or offset immediate move-in costs. Depending on availability and home eligibility, this package may be used toward options that help you settle in faster and more comfortably.

For many buyers, this added incentive removes last-minute stress and turns moving into an exciting, rewarding experience rather than a financial juggling act. It’s one more way New Home Inc helps buyers start the year strong in a home they love.


Why Move-In Ready Homes Are a Smart Choice for Today’s Homebuyers

In today’s market, many buyers are prioritizing certainty, timing, and value, and that’s exactly where move-in ready homes shine. These homes are already built or nearing completion, allowing buyers to move forward without the extended timelines often associated with building from the ground up.

Benefits of Choosing a Move-In Ready Home

Move-in ready homes offer several advantages, especially when paired with limited-time incentives like this one:

  • Faster closing timelines

  • Lock in rates sooner

  • See the actual home before you buy

  • Less waiting and fewer unknowns

  • Immediate access to community amenities

For buyers with leases ending, relocation timelines, or family needs, move-in ready homes provide clarity and confidence. When combined with a reduced interest rate and additional financial incentives, they create a powerful opportunity to buy smart at the start of the year.
