Our blog is about keeping builders with growing inventories that are being beaten on by the banks from stepping in it.The sole purpose is to have a place to tell your story and to read those of others. We do not want to bash, but to make a place to see there are others out there. Share the stories and methods that worked and ones that brought on more headaches….the ones that did not. We have lived through some pretty tough scrapes by holding strong. Not wasting precious resources by fighting the institution or defending the act of not paying our obligations, but by showing the aggressors that this is not a market that any one builder or person caused. Showing them that we did not cause this and that we share the problem with the banks. It is up to them to notice that we are not going to just roll over because they beat on us. Stand tall, help your brothers stand tall, and for Petes sake, when they take swings at you, don’t just take it. Push Back.Post your story under one of the topics and share your story, you can remain anonymous but please, take the survey, share some of the tools that worked for you to keep alive.

A couple of quick hitters....

The Fantastic 4 is our goal......we need to get inventory down to four months.

Others say homes -- even high-end homes -- are taking longer to sell.
In Happy Valley and Oregon City alone, said Deena Kraft, a broker for Windermere Cronin & Caplan Realty Group Inc., there are nearly 200 active listings for homes starting at $800,000.

We have built homes and developed land. Now we fight to survive. Please take the time to vote on the poll. Please visit the builders forum. Please email me a story. Have a great day.
