"non-refundable deposit". More like live & learn...they put down $60,000 & agreed to purchase the property for $600,000. The property has obviously dropped in value since the contract was signed. Better to lose $60,000 then be locked into losing $250,000. This is going on across the country with new construction. Luckily for the developers in Asbury, the property tax is abated, so they're not forced to discount to get a quick sale & can wait out this downturn until the housing market comes back up again. I suppose my Lucent stock will be worth $80 again too someday. Yahoo!
