Quick Answer
As of November 12, 2026, Highland Homes is advertising up to $63,000 in combined savings on select quick move-in homes at Aviary at Rutland Ranch in Parrish, for contracts signed by December 31, 2026. Eight quick move-in homes are available from $369,900 to $504,405, and six of them are move-in ready now. The savings are tied to the builder's lender, so compare the total cost with an outside Loan Estimate before you commit.
Parrish is one of the busiest new construction pockets on the Manatee County side of Tampa Bay, and Aviary at Rutland Ranch is one of the quieter communities in it. It sits off Rutland Road with access from US 301 and Rye Road, and many homesites back up to water or conservation. Right now the builder is leaning hard on incentives to move finished homes before year end. Here is what is on the table and how I would look at it.
The three offers running right now
| Offer | What it is | Applies to | Deadline |
|---|
| Home for the Holidays | Up to $63,000 combined: price cuts up to about $41,000 on select homes, all closing costs and prepaids paid, plus a 2.5% concession toward a rate buydown | Select quick move-in homes | Contract signed 11/1/26 to 12/31/26 |
| 4.25% 5/1 ARM | 4.25% for the first five years. Can adjust up to 1% per year from year six, 9.25% lifetime cap. Builder's FHA example shows 6.031% APR | Select move-in ready homes | Contract on or after 11/10/26, close before 3/10/27 |
| Personalize and Save | $15,000 in design upgrades, all closing costs and prepaids paid, plus a 2.5% concession toward a rate buydown | To-be-built homes only | No end date published |
All three require financing through a Highland Homes lender partner, and the builder states they cannot be combined with each other. Not every home gets a price reduction, and some homes already show the reduced price on the tag. Builders change these terms without notice, so treat this as a snapshot of what was posted on November 12, 2026.

What I would check before signing
- Get an outside Loan Estimate. Every offer here is tied to the builder's lender. A big closing cost credit can be offset by a higher rate or fees. Compare the total cost over the years you expect to own the home, not just the headline number.
- Understand the ARM before you take it. 4.25% for five years is real savings up front. The rate can then rise up to 1% a year. It fits a buyer who expects to move or refinance inside about seven years. It is a poor fit if a higher payment later would strain your budget.
- Ask for the CDD amount on the exact homesite. HOA dues are $400 per quarter and include irrigation water. The CDD is on top of that and is part of your monthly cost.
- Ask if the price reduction is already in the tag. The builder notes some homes are advertised with the reduction already applied.
- Still get inspections. New does not mean flawless. A third party inspection before closing is cheap protection.
- Verify schools for your address. The community lists Annie Lucy Williams Elementary, Buffalo Creek Middle and Parrish Community High in the School District of Manatee County. Confirm the assignment for the specific home.
