They all want to do custom builds only, citing it isn't profitable enough doing a standard build. They can't contain the costs with their wants vs. needs, and were thinking of selling their property, but no biters for over half a year.
Not sure if they are being unrealistic, or if the local market is in such shape. I want to give my former colleague the benefit of the doubt as they are both very reasonable people, but hearing of this surprised me a bit.

I don't know the residential construction scene that well, but I imagine anyone that's building standard houses is probably tied up in the larger developments Ie: Westhills, Kettle Creek, Royal Bay etc.
