两年前，在华盛顿房地产繁荣的鼎盛时期，新建筑中的预售房产在还没有打下地基时就会被买家抢购一空。

At the peak of the Washington real estate boom two years ago, buyers were snapping up "presale" properties in the new buildings before the foundations had even been laid.

我们的预售票才放出5小时就被扫购一空，票价实际上要比RailsConf便宜；我们还管5顿饭还有4个带免费酒柜提供餐点的party。

Our early-bird tickets sold out in five hours, and they were actually cheaper than RailsConf tickets; we also happen to include 5 meals and 4 catered parties with open bars in the mix.
