Demand For Active Adult Project Signals End to HousingBath!
Paul Owers of the SunSentinel has an amusing post on the HouseKeys blog tonight. "Well, well. Two people are actually camping out for the right to buy in GL Homes' newest community, Valencia Reserve near Boynton Beach." Owers says that GL used to sell similar homes in the $400-$600k range during the housing boom, but the prices at Valencia Reserve will start tomorrow at $249,000. So what's with the overnight camping out? Maybe it's a cheap publicity stunt. Or maybe these are the same kind of people who camp out for Star Wars tickets and the new iPhone. Or maybe it's two people who just emerged from a four-year siesta in a backyard time capsule they fashioned out of twine and empty two-liter bottles. Whatever the motivation, it's good to see bargain hunters emerging...but camping out? It's going to be a cold, lonely night on the sidewalks of Boynton Beach.

Or just two people trying to make a living!
I can appreciate the making a living argument if they worked for the homebuilder, but the article implies they are actully camping out so they don't miss out on the sale.
