    the edge. Rentals have always been tight, and I'll be glad to get out
    of the rental market. As for buying, houses here are known to sell in hours at or above the asking price, and when land goes on the market, people swarm like seagulls on a chip. And the prices are rising dramatically. Our land has already increased by at least 50% in the
    past year or so (good thing we bought when we did!), and the value of
    the house is going to be well in excess of $500k, possibly $600k, by the time it's finished. We've already dodged a lot of the price rises with the timing of signing of contracts, etc. Now it's all go for the build
    to start in January, after the Christmas break.

    Over here we're reading about stories of bad developers who pull out using a sun set clause just to ensure they make more money on from another buyer... the recommendation is to ensure such a clause is not in new contracts to protect buyers.

    Well, the developer is done and dusted, we own the land outright. And the house is being built by a very reputable company.
