Builders got caught in a price-cost squeeze: selling at yesterday's prices and delivering at tomorrow's costs.

Builders don't want to hang on to standing houses -- they have to pay their bills, financing, and taxes.

Builders can start with a comprehensive land analysis, reviewing all land owned, in the process of being acquired, under option, or otherwise in the pipeline.

Builders are running out of developable land. Developers are looking to the northern counties along the Treasure Coast to find large tracts.

Builders are finding that they have to work harder. They have to use different sales tactics to gain market share from competitors.

Usually the incentives and the ways builders are allowed to design subdivisions to allow for extra densities sooner or later reduces that cost by a lot.
