I don't think price is the only important thing to be negotiated. Builder's contracts are notoriously one-sided. It's a buyers market, and you may be able to get concessions you would not have got one year ago (extras, late interest etc).

Personally I use a lawyer to review the contracts as I don't feel Realtors are qualified to give good advice on that end. The market is getting pretty close to 'balanced' and using the whole 'buyers market' argument doesn't get you far these days. There is often a buyer waiting in line behind you. The average DOM in the complex I just sold in for this month was about a week.
