That Little Extra
As the market continues to cool, we’ve heard stories of new homebuilders throwing in a few additional incentives. These incentives have ranged from free landscaping to washers and dryers to refrigerators. But, for some new lucky Las Vegas homeowners they appear to have hit the jackpot of incentives.
Las Vegas-based Wagner Homes is giving away swimming pools said to be worth $30,000 on some of its projects. They’ve recently added a pool feature to three of their homes that have been on the market for a few months. Interest flaired, and all three homes are now sold.
Larry Murphy, president of Sales Traq, which monitors real-estate trends in the Las Vegas area sees the increase in incentives as a builders desire not to have to lower the sale price.”Swimming pools, gold club memberships, home landscaping, all of them are being offered,” Murphy said. “Home builders lower prices only as a last resort, so prior to that they prefer to give incentives, which are masked within the sales price. They don’t want to reduce prices, not only for the peace of mind of having to deal with the homeowners who have already bought but because it would cause problems with appraisals.”
