Buyer Galore.haha dream on. Construction cost for low end condo is about $300psf and the cost of land is $118. To breakeven, developer has to sell more than $500psf. So, most likely it will be above $600psf. Unless developer doesnt want to make money and do it for charity !

Of course, developers want to sell high high price. Of course developers would want to pass on the increase in buidling costs to conusmers. Can they? So far, it doesn't look like they can. Otherwise, we won't have a 63% unsold inventory. The question is whether buyers want to buy at $600 psf or even $500 psf or even $400 psf ??? with the economy looking worse each quarter and jobs have quickly gone ?? It's about supply and demand. Supply is increasing with more projects getting TOP. Demanding is decreasing as jobs and earnings decline. So, with plunging sales and shares, and increasing costs and inventory, how long can developers hold? Buyers are not stupid these days.

Dear visitors:
Your comments are most welcome!
The blogger here has been affectionately named by close allies as "Smart Buyer" but really, he's not smart. Smart Buyer just believes that being prudent is smart. That's the essence of the message of this blog and Smart Buyer hopes it'll benefit other property buyers.
