My buddy is a small scale builder and he's on the sidelines currently. They have a few lots to build on in a subdivision. He's decided not to start for fear that his margin is going to evaporate or worse he's going to have to carry them. Carrying inventory will kill your business as a builder. He's even contemplating selling the lots since there is some cost in taxes and maintenance, though nowhere near the costs of an improved property.
