Maybe I’m missing something, but I don’t see WAGE inflation happening anytime soon. Let alone the end to increasing unemployment.

The powers in charge aren’t entirely clueless. They know all too well what would happen if mortgage rates jumped sharply in the next few years. There is going to be a strong push to keep low rates, IMHO over the next several years. Either that or a program put in place to let those underwater refinance.

Now wage inflation out a few years, say in 2014+ might be a whole other story.

[quote=DA][quote=sdnerd]I was there last weekend; I laughed at the updated sale price sheet. Still way over priced for what you get IMHO.

Now if you bought a REO there, then you might be in better shape.

Details; need them.[/quote]

Would you mind sharing the current price list and availability at Chanteclair? Are these builders willing to take counter offers on the list price? Last time I checked, they were down right arrogant about their prices and did not want to entertain any counter offers at all, especially Silhouette – John Laing Homes[/quote]

I actually have the sheets for all the divisions there. Maybe I’ll type them all up tomorrow and post them.

Here’s what is on the sheet from last weekend for Chanteclair:

Plan 1 – The Gauguin

2 out of 3 sold; 1 avail at $713,300 (2901 sq ft)

Plan 2 – The Lautrec

3 out of 4 sold, 1 avail at $711,605 (3025 sq ft)

Plan 3 – The Monet

5 out of 5 sold, high 600’s to $702k

I’m not sure how many are really available/etc, I didn’t ask or look… just strolled through the models.

Decent enough area, but by the time you add in the HOA and MR to those inflated prices. Ouch! I don’t see the appeal to 4S at those prices…
