As an architect I have run into resistance from builders as well. Wanting to build the same product that has worked for them in the past - even though it is not working currently. Can you recommend a book or two for an architect that wants to understand Market Analysis a little better? Daniel,

It is a new day and a new market. Times have changed and therefore it is up to each builder to change their floor plans, options and included features if they have to in order to sell their homes in this market. Change is good and must be done if a builder wants to be successful in today's market. Thank you for sharing this article today. You do a GREAT job. Regards, Del Barbray Excellent post, Daniel

Preach on. Another detrimental effect is that the sales people get blamed and demoralized for a failure to sell when it would take a miracle to sell something that doesn't meet market demand.
