$250,000 Designer home with a 30% increase would now cost $325,000. My friend is convinced this is true and I have no reason not to believe him as He is not one to make "things" up. I have no valid data to back him up.

Assuming this is correct, is the Developer gouging people on new homes?
I think you should go back to your friend and share what the posters have said. He needs to remove the "gouging" from his story. What do you think??
