It means that they deliberately overpriced those houses by 40-100k so as to provide an inducement that will still net them a good profit.
Yes. This is what it means. However the overpricing was based upon speculative momentum in the market at the time they set the initial pricing. Now that this pricing pressure has reduced or disappeared, they are finding that non-speculative buyers - those that actually plan to live in them as their primary residence - can not afford the speculation driven prices.
The real question is - did the builder factor the removal of the speculation premium into their costs ? Its possible they could not since - at least in california - there has been a corresponding bubble in material and labor costs.
Only renters call it a bubble.

Angry about something?
I never said I was a RE speculator. One would have to be a total dope to not take the gain and make your family more comfortable in cheap and easy fashion.
