mj, People looking right now are "bottom feeders". It's a buyer's market for both existing AND new home sales. Many ARE taking advantage of the glut of foreclosed homes and new homes that developers need to unload.
As to "why build more when the people can't afford what they've got now", some people just want a brand new house built to their specs.

Remember that developers build homes and in the process employ carpenters, electricians, support wood mills, loggers in the NW, refrigerator makers, etc. That's the nature of our economy. It may not make the most sense to you or me, but it's their choice.
Right now, we're all putting more and more of our available income into the gas tank and on the table. Most of us are trying to just hang on and ride out this recession. Not many people that I know are thinking about going out on a limb with a brand new home and new mortgage.
