Austin, Texas – September 18, 2026 -- BuildersUpdate.com has introduced a "Pay Upon Performance" marketing model that eliminates upfront fees for homebuilders, charging a flat fee starting at $1,000 per property only when a sale closes.

Homebuilders shift away from upfront marketing spend amid rate uncertainty
