When we had our home built in 2001, we were allowed to wait 2 years to build. When we came back to buy the land, we were told that they wanted to finish out the street we would be on. If we were willing to not wait 2 years and build immediately, they would let us have the land at 50% off. The land was $50,000 and we could have it for $25,000. It faces Glenbrook golf course. My husband said that could be my furniture money, so we started building. It was cool how our realtor would send us photos from the slab up. I used to look forward to the photos arriving in the mail because I could see it being built. I decided to retire earlier than I had planned and don't regret it at all.
