Home Buyer Incentives? Doesn’t Hurt to Ask

Home Buyer Incentives?  Doesn’t Hurt to Ask

In a seller’s market, a prospective home buyer needs to be a little more cautious when negotiating a purchase; however, in today’s buyer’s market, incentives are an accepted part of the deal.  It certainly never hurts to ask for incentives, but be careful not to get carried away to the point of alienating the seller totally to the point they are willing to even negotiate.

It’s not uncommon for a seller to wait for three months or longer to sell their home, especially during this time when the market is saturated with homes for sale.  They need to make their home stand out amongst the rest, and often times, offering sales incentives is the easiest way to accomplish this.

When purchasing a new home from a builder, the incentives can be almost endless, and range from new appliances, landscaping, big screen TV’s and even swimming pools.

This buyer’s market won’t be here forever.  Right now, if you’re a buyer, you’ve got an edge; be sure to take advantage of it.
