Builders are offering ridiculous perks to buyers. Buyers are so few and far between, that those that do come forward are getting unprecedented deals. Check this out. I'm from the DC area. Our housing prices are always through the roof. Our housing recession however really started about 2 and a half years ago. Around that time, you could see the market slowly coming to a halt. I was in the market to purchase a condo at the time. In one of the suburbs of Washington, there was a construction company offering $25 - $40 thousand buy downs. And that was 2 and half years ago. Some of those same condos are still on the market, so who knows what they could be offering a willing buyer today. You’re first tip is golden. Builders are offering ridiculous perks to buyers.
