Buy a Condo, Get a Cruise?

What incentives have you seen developers giving out to move their product?  It used to be upgraded granite and kitchen cabinets.  But apparently that isn’t enough anymore as granite and nicer cabinets have become “standard” finishes.

Here is one agent trying to sell a garden unit in Lincoln Square on Craigslist and giving out a 5 day, 4 night cruise for 2 along with the deal.

4922 N. Rockwell 88% SOLD! LAST UNIT LEFT! SELLER SAYS SELL!!

**$10k BELOW IDENTICAL UNIT THAT JUST SOLD!!**

BEST garden level condo in Lincoln Square! GREAT investment! LIVE IN IT OR RENT IT OUT!

!!5 day/4 night CRUISE for 2 (to Mexico, Bahamas or West Caribbean) with purchase of this property. Or if you retain me as your agent!!

It’s listed for $189,000.

Steve Acoba at Keller Williams has the listing.

Do these incentives really make you want to buy a condo?  Or is it just a sign of desperation that is now a turn-off to buyers?
