SDC I agree with you 100%, they are coming down. Most of the regulars here know that the builders have no emotional attachments and a higher margin to work with and they will always be able to undercut the resellers. Also that the builders squeeze the number of homes per phase release AND they slow down the phase releases to limit the supply thus creating an appearance of more demand. You called it correctly and I anticipate the trend to continue.
So yeah maybe buyers will not get the house directly from the builder and maybe it will not be brand new, but they may be able to get the “2 year old pre-owned model” at a nice discount if they hang out for a spell…
