50% cancellation rate!

Last week, KB Home (one of the largest builders in the US) reported earnings for the last quarter. Their cancellation rate worsened from 34% (in the prior quarter) to 50%! That's crazy!!!

Read more about KB's announcement here.

Also, Jon Markman (MSN Money) just wrote an interesting article titled, "For home builders, the worst is to come".

That's what happens when people buy something they can't afford and hope to make a few quick buck on something (a house) that is nothing more than a place to live.
