Question for those of you who purchased a new home in TV, did you get your first choice, or did you have to try multiple times to finally secure a new home?

We wanted to build in Richmond, the lots available that would fit our build, was 9 lots We tried for all of them. We were Anywhere from #5 to 32. We got lot number 9, not the lot we wanted, or the area of Richmond, but our house will fit, along with the pool. But not room for any side stretching.
After we put down our money, 3 more lots that would have been ideal came up, we tried for them also, knowing we would loose our deposit. Best we got was #2, and #5 and first people took the lot. So we are building on the 9th lot we bid on. It was very frustrating, and glad we are building in Richmond, but what a roller coaster.
Any advice that I can give you is don’t get your hopes up, if you get a house, celebrate, because there were 20 plus others that lost, and if you don’t get #1, there will be another house to put your name one, and you might get lucky. If not there will be a new village to buy a house, down the line
