The article does a (surprisingly) good job in describing the only choices a prospective buyer has when negotiating with a builder contract in this market:
“But even if a prospective buyer objects to including a termination for convenience clause in their contract, the builder can insist on keeping the language — especially in a housing market that favors sellers over buyers. If the seller refuses to remove the language, the buyer is left with only two choices — either accept the risk and sign the deal, or walk away and find another house.”
