In an aggressive attempt to get homes selling in the sluggish California real estate market, a developer is offering perspective homeowners a buy-one-get-one-free deal.

From 10News in sunny San Diego, via L.A. Land:

Michael Crews Development is offering new, 2,000-square-foot cityscape row-homes worth $400,000 in Escondido for free—if you buy one Royal View Estate home in San Pasqual Valley starting at $1.6 million.

"We thought, 'Why does it just have to be on Pop Tarts and restaurants?' " Dawn Berry of Michael Crews Development told 10News. "Why not buy one home, get one free[?]"

Finally, a developer gutsy enough to follow the lead of a frosted breakfast pastry.

Wow! That is quite the deal. I don't think I've ever seen someone do a buy one get one free deal on homes. However, I'm not convinced that it's a great deal because the house that someone would have to buy would cost at least $1.6 million...in an economy like this, people are have their homes foreclosed on because they made purchases like this. Workers in other markets, like heating contractors, are also struggling, but it's just a matter of time before the economy comes through, just like it always does. http://www.thaheatandair.com
