It seems they are cheaper at the pre-construction prices as compared to when they are finished. So in the time that it takes to build (roughly 1 and half to 2 years) I will have hopefully saved up a big bundle of cash that I can use as the down payment. I should also be making a lot more at my job, but if the monthly payment is still too much I can have a roommate to help offset the costs. Eventually I will either have no roommate or I'll be buying a bigger property.
One word of caution. Developers have the been in the habit lately of using the escape clause in your contract. I got screwed over by the developer Streetside because of it. Once the cost got too high and the profit wasn't enough, they enacted the clause.
