Can you say buyers market? I can't believe the incentives that builders are offering to unload their inventory homes before the end of the fiscal year! Plasma TV's, thousands of dollars in closings cost assistance, very large discounts off of the orginal list price, and bigger, better agent bonuses and commissions than ever before. Some builders must be losing money on their homes at the prices that they are "giving them away" for in Charlotte. Of course, I understand that these deals typically come about at this time of the year, but this seems a little more excessive than in years past. I have literally been getting one e-mail after another from local builder sales reps in the Charlotte market. It appears that now is definitely the time to buy new construction if you didn't already know that or if you hadn't already read your 20 e-mails today pertaining to price slashing on new homes. I'm not really in the market for a new home myself, but maybe I should be!
