ParticipantThat is nice to see if you are waiting on the sidelines to purchase, but it doesn’t mean 60% drop for the avg buyer. Morgan Stanley purchased a large block of business for 40 cents on the dollar, but only because they believe they can get 60 cents or more in the future. Hopefully the avg buyer of new home construction will see those 40% drops soon

ParticipantThey are asking $425,000 for a 1100sqft condo in Irvine. That’s $386/sqft, way too expensive and definitely not a 60% drop at all. In addition this community has Mello Roos and some other garbage taxes.

ParticipantPer the article…
“I could say I bought for 50 cents on the dollar of last year’s price, because I did, but I think that’s a little bit of hyperbole because last year’s price was last year,” Gottesdiener said.
This purchase demonstrates an element of speculation which says that current “market prices” are higher than the purchase price. Much the same way that BofA thought that a stake in countrywide was worth more of their original $17 per share stake. “The market” proved them wrong.
This could backfire… or it could work out. One thing is for sure, sales of 50% discounts from the original prices would prove to be a 25% return for the new owners. That provides a lot of wiggle room that existing homeowners just don’t have. New homes will lead the way!
