Full Story"Beazer reported that 68% of its prospective home buyers canceled their orders in the company's fiscal fourth quarter, which ended Sept. 30. The cancellation rate was almost double the 36% of customers who canceled orders and gave up deposits in the prior quarter."
Ok, now even if Beazer is keeping the earnest money it can't be enough to base a viable business on, especially when your business model has been targeting the low-income, somewhat subprime customer. Beazer has had "accounting irregularities" and I'd say its a pretty safe bet this builder is going to go under. In fact I'm kind of surprised it hasn't already happened.
