Concerns re: % Sold

We are considering purchasing in a new construction building in downtown Manhattan that is less than 70% sold. We've heard (for lack of a better term) "rumors" that buildings may be getting creative in terms of the types of contracts that they will agree to in order to get people to put down a deposit (e.g. timeframe contingencies etc.). Has anyone had any experience recently with going into contract in a new construction building in Manhattan? What sorts of contingencies were you able to negotiate? Thanks! http://downtowny.blogspot.com
