mj, People looking right now are "bottom feeders". It's a buyer's market for both existing AND new home sales. Many ARE taking advantage of the glut of foreclosed homes and new homes that developers need to unload.
As to "why build more when the people can't afford what they've got now", some people just want a brand new house built to their specs.
