Igor Doncov, a resident of San Mateo County, Calif., alleges in the lawsuit that because Pulte Homes, the parent company of Del Webb, drastically cut home prices at the end of September, it "created an instant loss of over $100,000" on four of the Del Webb properties he owned.

That reduction, according to the lawsuit, caused Doncov to be unable to sell two of the homes he already closed on at the time the lawsuit was filed last month. Two other homes were in escrow.

At the end of September, Pulte reduced prices at its four Las Vegas Del Webb communities between 5 percent and 25 percent, or $50,000 to almost $160,000. Pulte also reduced prices in 18 of its 23 Pulte Home communities, with reductions ranging from $25,000 to $170,000. Pulte Homes blamed the reductions on a slowdown in demand and an over- aggressive pricing strategy.

Sheryl Palmer, Nevada area president of Pulte Homes, said she believes the company is close to a resolution with Doncov. Palmer said she could not disclose any details of the possible resolution.

CHICAGO (CBS.MW) -- U.S. homebuyers found it more difficult to come up with the money for their house purchases in the third quarter, although housing affordability remained historically high in the period, the National Association of Realtors said Monday.

The NAR's composite housing affordability index was 128.6 during the third quarter of 2004, down 3.7 percentage points from 132.3 in the second quarter; it was 7.6 points below the same period a year earlier when it stood at 136.2.

The decline was blamed on rising home prices. Still, the index shows the nation's typical household could afford to buy a home costing $242,400, well above the national median existing-home price in the third quarter, which was $188,500. That's up about 6.5 percent from the median of $176,900 in the third quarter of 2003.

"Any index reading over 100 is considered sufficient for the nation as a whole and we remain in pretty good shape," said David Lereah, NAR's chief economist.
