rowval,

We waited 3 yrs & bought in Apr 08 and elected to go new versus pre-owned. However, since then I've noticed that pre-owned homes have been reducing. There are some great buys available both ways. Many factors to consider. We especially liked a an older designer with no bond but thought it was too high. We didn't even make an offer thinking we were crazy to even try. Well guess what? The price dropped considerably and the house sold immediately.

Have we seen the bottom on new home prices? IMO yes. But the developer can always tweak the inventory by renaming/designing a few models to entice the public.

Gracie Girl - While we were in Hadley in Nov we walked daily thru the Hadley hood and noticed many homes that appeared to be void of furniture. Sold? Maybe, but we sure noticed many that appeared to be empty. Probably like us waiting to sell up north so we can purchase a REAL BED to put in our new home.
