This is odd. So many contractors are out of work right now that they are bidding jobs at 1/2 the rates of 2006. Construction materials have come way down. [/quote]
Contractor do not bid jobs at 1/2 the rates of 2006. They still trying to charge their imaginary
year 2006 rates ($200-$300/h). I know that for sure – building a house in RB. And they prefer to be on unemployment, but not to work at normal rates.
And there are quite a few vacant burned lots for sale in RB with no permit fees, no school fees ( at least $40,000 value) to build. And they are still do nothing.May 1, 2009 at 9:41 AM #391193Guest[quote=Rt.66]

ParticipantI’m referring to Riverside Co. (where the houses are being bulldozed).
Yes, they are tripping over each other to out bid one another, anything to keep the employees working. Supply and demand works on the way down too.
I don’t know any contractors who “prefer” unemployment.

Participant[quote=jpinpb]Hmmmm. That’s one way to force a bottom. Destroy all the homes. Leave only a few. Then the price will go up b/c there is no supply. Then start to build again at high prices. 😉
I just can’t believe they’re now resorting to tearing down homes, but this is what it’s come to. [/quote]
Why not they sell these homes at as is condition to the lower most prices – when folks ready to buy at give away prices? What they get back when they demolish those? Are they getting any cash value back into their books?
