Canceled Contracts. Ever since the market began to turn for new homes, builders have reported increases in cancelled purchase agreements, but this one from a Toll family member adds a new twist.

Get This. Just a week after luxury home builder Toll Brothers said it sees no signs of improvement in the slumping housing market, and expects a 22 percent decline in home-building revenue for its first fiscal quarter, ended Jan. 31, they filed an SEC report noting that a member of its founding family is attempting to walk away from a new condo purchase agreement, according to a Reuters report today.

From the news story: The daughter of Vice Chairman and co-founder Bruce Toll informed the company last month that she and her husband “did not intend to make settlement” on a $2.47 million home they had previously agreed to purchase, the company said in a regulatory filing.” Toll Brothers went on to say that it intends to pursue its rights under the agreement of sale with Toll’s daughter, Wendy Topkis.
