Friends of mine who remodel homes for a living say that some of the builders they know are not even bothering with making homes that sell for less than 2-3 million dollars. People buying these houses have so much money paying an extra $500,000 is peanuts.

These same friends say if they see a junction box, roof tile, plaster board, etc. at the hardware store they buy it on sight, needed or not. They know if a customer wants a job done they might not be able to find the needed supplies, so they buy it when they can and just store it.

Guy that shingled our roof last month honored his estimate given in February. I figured he would come back wanting more money.

Every year Late fall into winter he buys 5-7 tractor trailer loads of the most popular Owens Corning shingles and colors at super sale price and has them delived to his out building.

People here 60 miles north of DeBlasio City are buying houses sight unseen and getting into bidding wars over them.
