The builder we bought from is now selling our model for significantly less than the price we paid. Can we take any legal action against the builder?

 The short answer is probably no. You will have a hard time convincing a judge that the developer is in the wrong. One common thread that runs through real estate law is that real estate values are unpredictable and that no one can guarantee escalation of prices. If property values go up, you cannot be ordered to give all or some of your gain back to the developer. Similarly, if values go down, why should the developer be required to pay you any money?
