Default Not quite as impulsive as you may think.

There are a limited number of models here to choose from and in the price level of designer, those models are available in block/stucco and frame. The lot size and the view are pretty much in a set price structure. Inside lots make a house lower in price than those that have their backside on a street, wall, pond or golf course. When you sort through all of that, if you are in a market for a designer, than it is pretty easy. There are some variables, some have walk in showers and larger lanais and some Lantanas have stretched elevations. The appliance packages vary and so does floor covering.Some come with blinds and some do not. Now these are the ones already built. It is fairly easy to see how much difference a block/ stucco is compared to the same model in frame. So the assessment process is not QUITE as tricky as you may think. You can then compare new with resale and come up with what you think is desirable and a decent price.

Just don't expect to change anything on a new home already built. ANYTHING!
