Hi Penny - Now is a great time to buy a new home. I don't see it getting any "thinner". Folks if you are waiting for the bottom it has arrived. If you're a first time home buyer you even get another $8,000 just for buying! How can that get any better? It doesn't. See Penny before you make a decision on a new home.
Nevin - I could be wrong, but I think the new home selections will get even thinner. More and more builders are "building to order" instead of building a speculative home that someone MIGHT or MIGHT NOT like.
