For e.g. a builder may offer to fix the kitchen with the latest appliances or throw in a swimming pool for no extra charge while other builders are offering to do the landscaping etc. All these techniques are used in order to combat plummeting home sales or to sell a house that’s been on the market too long and this even applies to model homes!
