Here's one a bit out of left field:
Given that we have so many people now on the forum who have completed their new homes, and quite a few who have construction under way, answer me this:
Did you haggle over he price of your new home? Did you ask for some extra to be thrown in?
I must admit that when we signed up for our PD home, I never considered trying to bargain with them over the price, and it got me thinking.
If you buy a car - you haggle. If it's a new car, then you negotiate the price, and try and get some extras thrown in. A house is worth a lot more (duh!), so do we have any power to negotiate the price?
Just curious....
Cheers
