Bubble, bubble, toil & trouble... With the major slow down in house sales, in Ireland, sellers are starting to get a bit creative: I see that houses in the Alderwood development at Hollystown, in Dublin 15, come with a free Volvo C30 Car! The houses, priced from a mere €480,000, are being promoted by McPeake Auctioneers who say: ..."we are delighted to announce that purchasers will receive a brand new stylish C30 Volvo car with their new home. The Volvo C30 is a flexi-fuel luxury car and is the smarter choice for the environment making it the perfect inclusion in a new life style choice..." Makes you wonder what's being promoted - the houses or the car? So what if everyone in the development has the same type of car, might look a bit odd alright, but would anyone buy a house in the first place just because they were getting a free car thrown in???!
