Its true . . . anyone can lie about anything. However, as an attorney who has practiced RE law, I can tell you that if I spoke to an official representative of a builder and she told me “these are the sale prices” and that was an out and out lie, they could easily be sued for fraud should someone make a buying decision influenced by that statement. Most builders are very careful in this area. Especially in today’s market. I doubt she lied when she said “these are the sale prices.” The potential liability to the seller far outweighs any sort of percieved benefit of comforting perspective sellers that prices are stable.
