Here's how things can change, and sometimes in a matter of minutes. In April 2011 we were on a LSV and looked at several new CYV's in Amberjack Villas off St. Charles in Pennecamp and new patio villas in Buttonwood. We went home and three weeks later in May we listed our home in Baltimore. The next morning the first family to view our home, made an offer and bought the home. She was the new manager of the Wegmans Grocery Store they were building. So they had a letter from the Wegman's Corp guaranteeing the funds for the purchase.
Since everything was cool, I called my salesman Tony Trussler in TV, who had taken me around just 3 weeks earlier. He said, all the CYV's in Amberjack are sold, and the next villa community Southern Star, which we didn't even look at, there are only 5 homes left out of 80. I said I was only interested in the 2BR Woodlawn, he said the next CYV community Montbrook they were changing the name to a Durham and they were going up $20,000. So now I was trying to decide between a new masonry 2BR CYV in Southern Star, a new masonry CYV in Montbrook or a new 2BR patio villa in Buttonwood. The CYV in Southern Star had been reduced $5,000 and I looked up Montbrook on the website while we were talking, and they had gone up $20,000 more as he said. Then Tony said, the Woodlawn in Southern Star was just reduced another $5,000. Needless to say, I bought the CYV because it wasn't that much more than the patio villa. Yes, homes and villas sell fast. I just had the home appraised and it is now worth $85K more than I paid.
