Home builders australia wide are doing it tough as home buyers shun high land prices. Land prices have hit the ridulous in Queensland, and this is where the pain for the construction industry is worst. There is no other reason but too higher land prices that I can see for people to stop wanting to [...]

Stocklands offer house and land packages to make owning that new home easier today Queensland’s largest residential land developer has announced incentives to buy land. It hopes to bring new home buyers into the market sooner to take up the slack of recent sales drop off last year. One thing that I have noticed is [...]

FHSAs were a great idea, but were viewed as complex, inflexible and take too long, so most first home buyers did not take up the offer.
Well now the offer has been upgraded, and hopefully more first time home buyers will take them up.
FHSAs have attractions that are usually overlooked when people are looking for a savings vehicle.

From that I make two points. They would stil be the top home builders without the CRMs, and:

This same company uses a CRM and their sales fell from nearly 500 land sales in 2009, to under 100 in 2010. So if the CRM did not work for them, why would they want to push it onto others?

The reason is that they wanted these same builders not using CRMs to buy more land and were trying to prove that they could make more sales.
The real motive was to the Land Sales company to shift land that wasn’t selling. Hope no home builders fell for that scam.
The fact is that people can’t buy a building contract without land, and if the Land Developer can’t sell their land, then home builders can’t sell homes. Its that simple.
