Live LGI builder price cuts
15 of 30 available LGI homes have an active price drop
Builder-initiated reductions across the six Portland-metro LGI communities Heath tracks. Pulled from the live LGI Homes feed on .
“This is the community I'm actively focused on right now. Sweet spot between Portland and Salem, builder is moving aggressively on price, and the FHA / VA lender pairing makes the monthly payment land lower than buyers expect. Walk it with me before you walk it with the on-site counselor.”
Floor plans here range from a 1,148 sq ft starter at the low end up to a 2,175 sq ft family layout. Most of the price drops on this whole inventory page are sitting at Dove Landing right now — that's the buyer signal.
| Plan | Current price | Builder drop | Beds / sf |
|---|---|---|---|
| Aspen | $461,900 | — | 3br · 1319 sf |
| Cayuse | $369,900 | -$20,000 (-5.1%) | 3br · 1148 sf |
| Hawthorn | $497,900 | — | 4br · 1843 sf |

Why People Choose Heath
Deal Finder
I don’t wait for opportunities. I find them. Whether it’s an undervalued property, a builder incentive, or a neighborhood about to pop, I see deals before the market does.
Relentless Negotiator
Every dollar matters. I negotiate like your money is my money. Earning your trust means fighting for every concession, credit, and upgrade.
New Construction Expert
I specialize in new construction homes. I know floor plans, upgrades, builder incentives, and how to get you the best possible deal on a brand-new home.
Investment Mindset
Your home isn’t just where you live. It’s your biggest financial asset. I help you think about every purchase through the lens of long-term wealth building.
Straight Talk
No pressure. No games. Just honest advice about what makes sense for your situation. If a deal isn’t right, I’ll tell you. Even if it means I don’t make the sale.
I Catch What Others Miss
After 7+ years and hundreds of walkthroughs, I spot finish work issues that less experienced agents walk right past. What I catch before closing gets fixed by the builder. What gets missed becomes your warranty headache.
Heath Watte
Before I sold homes, I served on Blackhawks. As a US Army UH-60 crew chief and instructor, I served in Afghanistan, where attention to detail, split-second decisions, and absolute reliability weren’t just job requirements. They were survival skills.
I brought that same discipline to real estate. For over 7 years at LGI Homes, I’ve helped families across Oregon find new construction homes with modern floor plans, builder warranties, and incentives that make homeownership more affordable than most people realize.
I’m actively licensed as a REALTOR® in both Oregon and Washington, and carry an FAA Part 107 drone certification. I believe in using every tool available to serve my clients better. I’ve been a consistent top seller in Oregon and a Peak Performer at LGI Homes, recognized among the company’s best nationwide. When I find a deal, I move fast. When I negotiate, I fight hard. And when I give you my word, it’s ironclad.
Off the clock, I’m a husband and father. I understand the real stakes of finding the right home for your family. It’s not just a transaction. It’s your life.

“There isn't enough room on the internet to hold all the praise Heath deserves. He is one of the best humans I know in every aspect of his life whether as a father, husband, friend or Realtor. I met him shortly after moving to Oregon and he truly helped me chart my course in a new state. He will exhaust every effort to help in even the smallest of things and I can't think of anyone I would trust more with the biggest of things like buying a home. He is impeccably honest, thorough to a fault and his experience just doesn't leave any room for confusion. It's a rare quality to find someone in sales who will put your needs above the deal, but Heath is one of them. He leads with kindness in all things and will make your home buying process a thing of joy.”
“Heath has been excellent All-around! His knowledge and experience, has really helped ensure our New Home buying experience was a pleasant one. I've worked with other Agents in the past, who frankly were just lazy! Heath went above and beyond for us, and I highly recommend him to anyone in the market to buy and/or sell a Home!”
“Heath is hands down one of the best realtors I know. He listens to your wants and needs and figures out the home that works for you. Heath gets his positivity from helping you make your dream home become a reality.”
“My experience with Heath has been amazing! I am looking for a home for me and my family and came across Heath. I reached out and he was so communicative, welcoming and professional! He answered all my questions with ease and gave me a path…”

Four Principles, No Exceptions
Why clients keep coming back. Every relationship runs on these four rules — not negotiable, not bent for any deal.
No pressure, ever. If a deal doesn’t make sense for your situation, I’ll say so in plain language, even when it means you walk away today. Your trust matters more than any commission.
Straight answers, fast. I personally read and respond to every message. No assistants, no auto-replies. If you text me Saturday morning, you hear back Saturday morning.
Data, not vibes. Every recommendation comes with the numbers behind it: appreciation trends, days on market, price-per-square-foot, property-tax exposure. You’ll see the math.
Military discipline, builder’s eye. US Army Blackhawk veteran and FAA Part 107 drone pilot. I inspect lots and communities the way a pilot preflights an aircraft, systematically, because what you miss matters.
