Jaroslaw - just a correction on unsold inventory. The 7,601 figure is almost assuredly for completed, under construction, as well as pre-construction units that are being marketed. The pre-construction unsold units are a huge percentage of the total unsold almost by definition (as under-construction needs to be at least 50% pre-sold - and as many of the under construction projects are 70-90% pre-sold, the overall average must be closer to 60-70%....)
