Don't know when that occurred, but timing would be critical, as would actually filing the correct paperwork to tie up the sale.

Builder got greedy and wanted more money. Used the rising cost of materials as an excuse to jack up price and the failure to obtain approval as reasons to cancel the contract. Hopefully the builder loses and the buyers will get their homes at the price they originally signed up for.

They will likely file bankruptcy

They probably now wish they did that from the beginning. Now that the courts are involved, I wonder how things will play out. The way that the request was sent out for more money was egregious - I would love to see more personal liability for situations where it's clearly the decision makers were acting in bad faith.

This, and would love to see buyers getting at least a bit of the profits when the builder resells these units to their uncles' shell company.

yup...unlike other project cancellations, they were accepting offers/agreements upto like a month before they asked for more money, so they ought to have known that their costs are/were way up and the agreements were entered into with bad faith on their end.

very different than previous situations where developer sold units years ago and then can't get financing when they go for actual construction/tender and get real prices.
