Expensive new homes are not being build as spec homes. If you look at their site you will see there are only one or two homes over $500,000.00 then compare that to a host of homes well over $500,000.00 to well over 1 million.. If a buyer want's a larger home on a premium lot they have to build one and be lucky enough to get a lot large enough when they are released or buy a pre-owned home. The average selling price of new homes is lower because there are no expensive homes on the market, and there are many expensive pre-owned homes for sale, nothing to do with pre-owned homes having made improvements.
