A home the builder started without a buyer, now finished or close to it. You can usually close in 30 to 60 days, and these homes tend to carry the largest incentives because the builder wants them sold.

Mostly in the newer master plans at the edges of the valley: western Summerlin, Skye Canyon, Cadence, Inspirada, and Lake Las Vegas, plus North Las Vegas. Custom homes are going up in places like Ascaya and Olympia Ridge in Southern Highlands.
