We need to raise rates, not lower.

rates have been shooting up and I would argue we might need to increase rates if cpi keeps on coming in hot. Nowhere near decreasing rates. It’s either stay as is or it goes up at this point. So with new construction you have to wait 6+ months for the home to be built assuming no delays to...

because their priority list is closed?

you're right but that wasn't my point. point is there will always be more people than homes. even with the 2008 recession, inventory nationwide rose to 3m? It's now 1m I think? So using number of individuals in an area to show if there exists demand or not is not a good representation of market...

Honestly it doesn’t matter what builder it is. All local areas share the same contractors. For example, TrueAir is used in Serrano Summit & Teresina & maybe even meadows. What is key is the Construction Manager for the builder & also a good inspector to catch things before closing. I heard so...

wow they give you a week? I remember I was given 2 hours to decide otherwise they move to the next buyer.

So basically the initial buyer for lot 93 forfeited 75k or 150k. Ouch.

What’s the deposit for olive wood?

That’s not necessarily true. Rich people have more stress and arguably at times not as happy as their counterparts. Ever heard the term “more money, more problems”? You can throw money at a lot of things. But I would argue the things where you cannot throw money at are more important. For...
