$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?
Gouging? How about making a good profit from an excellent product? Housing prices have gone up nationwide - thanks to a robust economy and consumer confidence.

I give "big props up" to the Developer and he is helping all of us.
