wow, that is crazy. What would a house bought for $0 do to the comps? Nothing good, I'm sure.

Ha, what a rip off!!

Pay the price of 3 crap boxes and get 2..

Lower the damn price, some inventory must go at a loss and things will begin to move again.

Swann has called the bottom for the Phoenix market.

Who knew there was even a problem there?

ooo ooo, I have a question professor Keith: did the builder pull a fast one and raise the price by $400k to account for the free $400k house? I know the LA Times blog says that they didn't, but I trust lawyers more than I do realtwhores and shack builders.

That kind of makes sense: With the gas at $5/gal for your 6 cars, diesel at $6/gal
for your RV and both heading higher, the drinking water in SoCal running out never
mind filling your pool and jacuzzi, you can at least get drunk from your wine rack...
Provided you still have any change left for a bottle of wine after paying your $12,000/mo
mortgage for the next 30 years...

Can it get any more absurd than that ? Oh, wait, you aint seen nothin yet...

I remember that 'buy a house and get a free pizza' thread! Keith, you've gotta dig it up and link to it. I feel sure that someone made a comment about getting a free house instead of a pizza.

That is one desperate builder.

So far we have not seen one step to this level ;(

As a small builder I worry of being trapped in the stigma created by the mega companies.

I think it best to clean'em out and start fresh with some real and honest people in this business.

The next couple of years should take care of that :)

"We thought, 'Why does it just have to be on Pop Tarts and restaurants? Why not buy one home, get one free,'" Dawn Berry of Michael Crews Development told 10 News in San Diego.

Must resist falling into... argument with retard... brain hurts. Going to sleep now...

The radio station in L.A. reported the price for the house was $1.6 million.

Almost as good as buy 4 tires and get the 5th one free.
