There is no doubt that the current downturn in the home building industry has changed quite a few things such as lending practices, the price of new homes, the size of new homes, what is considered standard items and what is considered upgrades, etc. But one of the biggest changes is that many of the people in the industry have changed. As you know, many of the builders, manufacturers, trade contractors and suppliers have been forced to lay off people to survive in this economy.

As the market turns around many of the old relationships that we all had will not exist anymore and we will have to forge new relationships based on honest and open communications and trust. It won’t be business as usual! We will have to work hard to build these relationships and this is a good thing as there will be no room for complacency in this new market.

So go forth and but your best foot forward.
