WE should also do something to help out the poor realtors who just got their license and now find they have to sit at open houses six days/week instead of one. In my neighborhood this weekend I was thinking of offering permanent sign holders for the many many open house signs that now appear at major intersections. I'm sure there is profit in designing the right marketing gimmick that will snare the last 100 people who still want to get in near the top of this absurd bubble. Let's look for things that appeal to people who don't read newspapers or know anything about finance: free hot tubs, NASCAR season tickets, big screen TVs or a year's supply of Bud Light! I'll offer some homebuyer incentives myself:<BR/><BR/>1. A free copy of the film: "Dude, Where's Your Life Savings?"<BR/>2. A year's supply of Mister Bubble.<BR/>3. A hammer (to hit things with).<BR/>4. The names and addresses of the NAR leadership, officers of Ameriquest, Countrywide, WaMu, etc.<BR/>5. 30 days of free storage at U Store It (the other 9 months they'll have to buy themselves).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18675105.post-1138476718185145212006-01-28T19:31:00.000+00:002006-01-28T19:31:00.000+00:00You wouldn't want Lindasy Lohan moving in.

Is is $100K off the bottom line or is it $100K worth of upgrades, etc.<BR/><BR/>FWIW, though CNN pooh-poohs (*cough*) those dual-flush toilets, that is an improvement worth having.<BR/><BR/>I got a Sterling-Rockport (Kohler -- the same one in the article?) for like $75 after a county (Santa Clara County, CA) subsidy/rebate (they're $200 new) and put it in my house about a year ago, and it works great. I never had a problem because the normal flush is, well, the normal flush. Rather than try to give you one hi-tech flush, they give you the normal flush with one button and a half-the-water flush with the other button. That's where your savings come from.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18675105.post-1138420983204151442006-01-28T04:03:00.000+00:002006-01-28T04:03:00.000+00:00Builders must decide prior to completing unsold ho...Builders must decide prior to completing unsold homes, to upgrade to granite , better cabinets, travertine ,etc. Homes had been selling before completion and the builders were make more money on upgrades. Now there upgrading at no cost to the buyer. Also new homes sales for dec were probably better than they should have been reported. Builders pushed to close homes due january to help dec #'s.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18675105.post-1138393506088822562006-01-27T20:25:00.000+00:002006-01-27T20:25:00.000+00:00Gimmicks are always used first to try and snare st...Gimmicks are always used first to try and snare stupid people.
