huh,

Raise the intellectual level of your comments!!!

Isn’t there a site where you can rail about gasoline prices? Movie prices? Skim latte prices?

Joe,
What’s wrong with Huh’s comment? Instead of throwing in a “BBQ package gift” if these developers just sucked it up and sold for a little less profit they may sell some more condos – as a potential buyer in this market I’d be willing to forego a lot of these freebies for a lower mortgage payment. I believe huh is just echoing our sentiments.

I too would like to echo the sentiments of huh and Sammy.

Sammy,

What I’m reacting to is that huh makes the same comment time after time, and it’s really pointless and mindless.

I think the reality of today’s market is that buyers can negotiate lower prices in lieu of “freebies” at a number of developments, especially those that are in a close-out phase. If lower payments are an issue, you might try to negotiate a mortgage buydown in lieu of some of the other incentives.
