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

Is losing your deposit a new thing? As of two years ago, you could apply your deposit to another lot pre design appointment.
We were fortunate to be first in line for our lot. There were 7 in line behind us if we backed out. You need a shark of an agent. Ready to hit the button the second they open the section up.
