Builders are in Trouble "What are you Going to Give Me?"

So 98% of all builders nationwide think they are in trouble and like one Builder told me what am I supposed to do stop selling homes? They have to keep building, advertising, and praying that buyers will get off the sideline and write offers on their new homes. So I said to the builder in a nice way "what are your incentives?" When a builder can't ramble off things like free basements, gourmet kitchens, rate buydowns, free, free, free they are not going to gain the excitement of the buyers in Colorado Springs, or any where in America.

Now I know, I love the new house smell, the clean carpets, and new stuff that goes with a brand spanking new home, but give me free stuff and lower your prices or the specs will sit and nobody is coming to your models. The builders in Colorado Springs are definetly hurting now, but they have the ability to control the market unlike any normal seller with a strict bottom line. In the last 2 monthes all of the new homes I have sold were such awesome deals my clients had to buy, they couldn't spend more on a used home, so be sure to ask for the world if you consider buying a new home and see how far the builder is willing to go to get his house off the books. You may be so surprised with the free stuff your wondering why you ever waited in the first place. Ian Stone Realtor of the Springs
