Or, wait, how about a Toyota Prius! 

Now the Cabin Cruiser ploy had been seen on the Nashville Craigslist a while back.  In the news today is a lady who is offering to throw a Toyota Prius in with the sale of her home.  Makes me wonder what exactly is going on?

Granted some areas are tougher to sell in than other areas - but certainly these folks have Realtors who have done their homework and recommended a price range that is within what the market will bear to that area.  Why not consider one of the following instead of a ploy such as the above examples:

•-         Reduce your home price:  Chances are, if your home is not moving and others are - your home is not competitively priced - Make your home the most attractive in terms of price.  If you are willing to throw in a $20,000 car, why not reduce the price instead?

•-         Offer incentives for the buyer such as payment of closing costs, buying down points, decorating allowance, home warranty, etc.

•-         Seek and listen to feedback - from open houses, from showings.  Many times, the best information as to why the home is not moving comes from those who are in the market - know the pulse of the market - if the kitchen is dated, update! 

Maybe I am off the mark here, but I believe there are different ways in which to approach a stagnate market.  Think about it - that is like paying a 30 year car (or boat) payment.  Makes you wonder.
