New Braunfels' median home price is around $350,000, with new construction averaging $360,000 in the city's master-planned communities. A traditional buyer's agent pockets the commission and returns nothing. Commission Cash Back rebates $9,000 on a $360,000 new build. New Braunfels sits between Austin and San Antonio on I-35, giving buyers access to both metros while keeping Hill Country character and Comal ISD's top-rated schools.

Simple Process

Three steps to thousands at closing.

01

Register Free

Complete our 2-minute registration before you visit any builder sales office or tour homes with a seller's agent. This locks in your rebate eligibility.

02

Buy Your Home

Shop for new construction or resale homes throughout New Braunfels. We provide full buyer representation - contract review, negotiation, and closing coordination.

03

Keep the Money

Your rebate appears on the closing disclosure as a credit. On a $360,000 new build, that's $9,000 back - paid at the closing table, not weeks later.

New construction example: $360,000 home x 2.5% rebate = $9,000 back at closing.
Resale example: $350,000 home x 2% rebate = $7,000 back.

Important: Register before your first builder sales-office visit or before touring a listed home. Builders and listing agents typically require a buyer's agent to accompany you on the first visit in order to preserve the rebate.

I-35 Corridor Advantage

New Braunfels sits at the midpoint of the Austin-San Antonio I-35 corridor, giving residents access to both metros within 30-40 minutes. This dual-metro commute advantage attracts buyers who work in either city but want Hill Country living at lower prices. Comal County's lack of a county income tax (Texas has none statewide) and relatively lower property tax rates compared to Travis County add to the financial appeal for relocating buyers.

Comal ISD Ranks Among Texas' Best

Comal ISD serves nearly 25,000 students and ranks in the top 10% of Texas school districts according to Niche. The district's academic performance, modern facilities, and community investment are the primary draw for families. Homes in Comal ISD zones command a premium over New Braunfels ISD, which translates into larger commission rebate checks. Veramendi, Meyer Ranch, and Vintage Oaks all feed into Comal ISD.

Tourism Economy Supports Property Values

New Braunfels welcomes over 3 million visitors annually for Schlitterbahn, the Comal and Guadalupe rivers, Gruene Historic District, and Wurstfest. This tourism economy supports a retail and hospitality base that insulates the housing market from single-employer risk. Christus Santa Rosa Hospital and Resolute Baptist Hospital add healthcare employment. The diversified economy keeps housing demand steady and gives buyers confidence in long-term property values.

Quick Answers

Common questions New Braunfels buyers ask.

Is a commission rebate legal in Texas?
Yes. Commission rebates are 100% legal in Texas, explicitly permitted by the Texas Real Estate Commission (TREC), and actively endorsed by the U.S. Department of Justice. Commission Cash Back operates under Ouray 550 LLC, a TREC-registered brokerage. There is nothing gray-area about this.
Do I get the rebate on new construction AND resale?
Yes. New construction buyers receive 2.5% of the total purchase price back at closing. Resale/pre-owned buyers receive 2% back. Both are credited directly on your closing disclosure. The rebate works with any builder and any listing in Texas.
Will I get less service because of the rebate?
No. You get a licensed Texas real estate agent who handles your buyer representation agreement, contract review, negotiation on pricing and upgrades, and closing coordination. Our efficiency comes from running a lean brokerage, not from reducing your service.
How is 2.5% different from competitors offering 2%?
Most rebate programs offer 1.5-2% of the purchase price. On a $400,000 home, that's $6,000-$8,000. Commission Cash Back's 2.5% new construction rebate returns $10,000 on the same home. That's $2,000-$4,000 more in your pocket, with the same level of representation.
What if I sign a buyer rep agreement and change my mind?
The NAR settlement requires buyer representation agreements before touring homes. Our agreement is straightforward and we'll walk you through every provision before you sign. If you have questions about the terms, ask them upfront.
Will the builder care that I'm using a rebate agent?
No. Builders set aside a commission on every home specifically to pay buyer's agents. Whether your agent keeps all of it or gives most of it back to you is between you and your agent. The builder's sales process and your pricing don't change.
Which New Braunfels builders does Commission Cash Back work with?
Every major builder in the New Braunfels metro, including D.R. Horton, Perry Homes, Taylor Morrison, Chesmar Homes, KB Home, Saratoga Homes, Sitterle Homes, Scott Felder Homes. If your builder isn't listed, contact us - we work with virtually every builder in Texas. View all builders
How do I actually receive my rebate?
Your rebate appears as a credit on your closing disclosure. On a $400,000 new construction home, that's $10,000 applied directly at the closing table. You can use it toward closing costs, or receive the difference as a check. The title company handles the math.
Can I get a rebate on Hill Country property in New Braunfels?
Yes. Commission Cash Back works on all home purchases in the New Braunfels and Comal County area, including Hill Country communities like Vintage Oaks and Meyer Ranch. A 2.5% rebate on a $500K Vintage Oaks new build returns $12,500 at closing. Even standard communities like Veramendi produce rebates of $8,000 to $12,500. The rebate applies to new construction and resale at every price point.
Which New Braunfels school district has more new construction?
Comal ISD zones have significantly more active new construction than New Braunfels ISD zones. Veramendi, Meyer Ranch, and Vintage Oaks all feed into Comal ISD and have active builders delivering homes from the $300Ks to over $1M. New Braunfels ISD serves portions of south and central New Braunfels with more limited new construction. Commission Cash Back's 2.5% rebate works in both districts.
How does New Braunfels compare to San Antonio suburbs for rebates?
New Braunfels' $350K median is comparable to many San Antonio suburbs, but the Hill Country geography and tourism economy set it apart. Comal ISD's top-10% ranking gives it a school district advantage over most San Antonio-area districts. New Braunfels also has 5.8 months of inventory, giving buyers strong negotiating leverage. A $360K new build here returns $9,000 at 2.5%, which is competitive with any San Antonio suburb.

The average Texas buyer leaves $9,000 on the table.
