We came on the preview plan 20 years ago. Spent the entire week driving around in a rented golf cart talking to people in various neighborhoods and looking at home models in the model center. We narrowed down 3 models we liked the layout on and decided we wanted a view not a house behind us. We went home, looked at the plans almost every day and made changes we wanted. Decided on a 3 bed/ 2 bath, 2 car garage with widened driveway designer home. Two years later our agent called with a championship golf course lot with a lake came on the market. He emailed us photos, we put down a deposit and flew down to view it. We loved it, bought it and had our designer home built with all the changes we knew we wanted. Twenty years later and now a widow, I still love my home. My property taxes are low for my home because we never moved, neighbors have come and gone, most have been great. I love my view as much today as the day we moved in. Take your time, buy exactly what you want in the area you want with the view you want and you can't go wrong. Settle and you'll never be happy and will move. The only thing you can count on is loving the layout, the view and the style. Take your time. Don't settle, the perfect home will come, you may have to wait for it, but ultimately the wait will be worth it and you'll love it here.
