My husband believes there is. He's thinking five houses is enough. I'm thinking, no, it's not.

We were really afraid of fires. These old houses are so close together that if one was set afire, the whole street would all go up. We lived in terror for a week.

We build all of our houses out of concrete blocks.

It's not about getting houses built. It's about people.

I think there is a lot of pent-up demand, a lot of people thinking of buying houses are doubling up, and the economy is getting better.

My suspicion is that people [at the open houses] may have been reluctant to put in a low bid directly to the owner, ... People are intimidated by that.
