Should Jackson County Builders Offer New Car With Home?

Home builders in Braselton, Hoschton and Jackson County have long offered incentives and discounts for home buyers. They’ve also thrown in material perks like a Mercedes, a trip to Maui or even another house. Now a home builder wants to help ease the burden of a long commute and soaring gas prices by giving buyers a free 2008 Honda Civic, according to an article in today’s WSJ.

William Grant, the owner of Brodheadsville, Pa.-based Grant Homes Inc., is using the Hondas to lure prospective buyers to a new 75-home development in rural Pennsylvania. Allentown, the largest center of employment near the development, is about 25 miles away.

The Hondas are worth about $20,000, and that value is not included in the price of the house. Buyers can choose to accept the free car or have the company pay the closing cost and buy down their interest.

Of four home sales last weekend, two buyers chose to take the car, Mr. Grant says. “The buying public is certainly waiting to do something,” he says.

Are you looking for a new home and would a new Honda influence your decision -- Let me know?????
