[quote=AN][quote=sdrealtor]There are always people who want and will pay for new. Just watch.[/quote]
What will it mean for those houses when it comes time to resale? They’ll no longer be new. Will they still hold the same premium then? Will they help bring up the price of the surrounding areas or will they just appreciate much slower in the near term?[/quote]
Long term many of the people who buy them will hold onto them as either occupants or rentals. There will always be a great pool of renters for them in the future. Even though the dont stay new, they will always be the newest home sin the area so that will have some cachet. That is unless there are more coming we dont know about.
