nybuyer, developers are already hurting because the banks are pulling line of credits from under them. that’s why some of the developers are actually taking offers for less than replacement cost. of course, some builders are more flexible than others. in the case of brookfield and cornerstone, knowing that they switched strategies and decided to build cheap knock-offs of their original grand productions do make it harder to bargain with them. so you are left with other builders that did not go that route.
generally, $100-$150k off latest discounted asking will likely be taken.
