Builders Offering Inventive Incentives

You don’t have to look far to find a deal if you are a buyer interested in a new home.

Buyer incentives abound, and some are becoming pretty creative ~ like Corey Barton Homes’ “Live Free” program that offers to pay your mortgage payment for the first six months.  The remaining 29.5 years of payments are the buyers’, however.

(Gee, I wonder if that incentive is built into the price ???)

I am also receiving e-mails and flyers from listing agents offering to pay me bonus commissions (up to 6%) if I will steer my buyers toward their listings, and it has now become commonplace for builders to offer incentives to buyers for seller-paid closing costs, $5,000 to be used for upgrades/furniture, and other inventive marketing ploys.

It is indeed a good time to be a home buyer in the Boise area!
