Actually it was only working for the houses that were near completion or built. There were only so many then it was done. Since it was such a frenzy some homes had 30 plus people per house on the list. That was before the computer lottery in use today. Most of the homes were PVs, and many chose to not buy, end of 2007 early 2008. Plus homes were $20,000 higher than those who waited for the same house 6-8 months later.
By the end of 08, houses were in abundance and discounted homes were everywhere. So nope didn’t really work as well as thought.
