You can always tell when a sales person is telling a lie--your
clue is that their mouth is moving. Of course they are going
to say this. In reality, they have no clue. The new units might
be nicer, which brings up the overall price of the neighborhood.
They might also cause an oversupply, which could bring down prices.
One thing is for sure...as long as the builder is building new
units, your chances of selling your existing unit is near zero.
Why would someone pay your price for a used unit when they can
get a new one at the builder's price?
