Home seller offers $1,000 in booze to buyer

Drink for free at the local watering hole and make it home in seconds. That’s what one Glenview, Ill., homeowner is offering as a way to set apart her 3-bedroom townhouse in a down real estate market.

Melanie Gravdal has been struggling to sell the unit, so she's decided to offer a unique incentive to stoke interest: $1,000 worth of food and drink at Grandpa’s Place, the bar across the street, to whomever buys the house.

“We weren’t getting very much traffic because there was so much competition in the market,” said Gravdal, of Glenview, a suburb about 18 miles north of Chicago. “We live in a place where restaurants and Bars come within walking distance so we thought this was a way to cross-promote the neighborhood and our homes.”

Gravdal and her husband, who live in the house with their 2-year-old daughter and 5-year-old son, are looking to move back to California.
