One of the things that I have noticed here, is that when a new subdivision is released, a certain building company immediately buys all the blocks of land within seconds.

They then onsell those blocks with the proviso that “certain building company” builds the house.

I checked out all the blocks in this particular subdivision, and realised that I quoted on the earthworks for all but 9 of the blocks in it, for the same company.

Today I got the other 9.

That completes the set, checkmate.

Sounds like they have friends on the inside.

Not really, they just know when to buy, and they have enough money to do it.

Potential first homeowners don’t get a look in.

Isn’t there some ‘competition watchdog’ that might take a dim view of buyers being denied a choice of builder?
