Incentives for Homebuyers on the Rise

As the real estate market begins to slow and the shifts to a buyer’s market, sellers are trying to find new ways to entice potential buyers to their listing. This might be a good time, if you’re a real estate buyer, to shop around for not only the best deal but some nice perks thrown in the mix. This article in CNN Money mentions a couple of things sellers, including new home builders, are beginning to offer.

In Seattle, a homeowner is offering plane tickets anywhere in the world plus a six night stay in the Four Seasons hotel.

Another seller, a builder in New Jersey, is offering a two year lease on a luxury vehicle if you buy his house.

If the market continues to fall, and most experts feel it will through most of 2008, we should start to see more incentives from sellers as they become increasingly desperate to sell their house.
