*Advertised interest rate of 4.25% (6.334% APR) is valid only on firm, non-contingent purchase agreements for eligible, owner-occupied quick move-in homes accepted by Drees Custom Homes in the Austin area, between June 1-30, 2026 and close by July 31, 2026 with First Equity Mortgage Inc. With the advertised rate, borrower payments for the first year will be based on an interest rate of 2% below the current market rate. The second year’s payments will be based on an interest rate 1% below the current market rate. In years 3-30, payments will be based on the original locked-in rate. For example, in the first year, borrower payments will be based on a 4.25% interest rate (6.334% APR), second year 5.25% interest rate (6.334% APR), then 6.25% interest rate (6.334% APR) for the remaining 28 years. The APR does not consider any other loan specific finance charges buyer may be required to pay. Example shows a 30-year conventional loan for an owner-occupied home with a sales price of $700,000, 760 credit score and 20% down payment. Subject to standard qualifications and credit approval. Government and adjustable-rate mortgages are not eligible. The 2-1 buydown option is available on Jumbo loans but at a different interest rate.

**1% off Interest Rate Incentive provides a 1% discount off the current interest rate offered by First Equity Mortgage Inc. on a standard 30-year fixed-rate conventional loan after all required adjustments for any loan level, credit score, loan-to-value, or other factors (known as the “Adjusted Base Rate”) calculated at the time the buyer initially locks their interest rate. Incentive is valid only on firm, non-contingent purchase agreements for owner-occupied, build-to-order single family homes accepted by Drees Custom Homes between June 1-30, 2026, when the buyer finances with First Equity Mortgage Inc. To qualify, buyer must select a 30-year fixed-rate conventional loan with a down payment of 10% or more of the home's purchase price. Buyers will lock their rate between 60 and 15 days before closing. The 1% rate reduction is based on the seller paying the incentive in an amount equal to the discount points required to reduce the Adjusted Base Rate by 1%, calculated at the time that Buyer initially locks their interest rate. Buyers must apply all seller incentives toward discount points to buy down the interest rate. The incentive will not exceed 4.00% of the total purchase price of the home even if this amount does not ultimately result in an interest rate reduction of 1% below the Adjusted Base Rate. This incentive may not be combined with any other Drees incentive or discounts, unless otherwise noted. Incentive is subject to change or withdrawal without notice.
