If sales are slower, the build rate will be slower. There was the Richmond frenzy but even that ended before the homes were all sold. Also, the idea that people here don't take mortgages is not true and even if it were, there is still that small issue of selling the existing home up North with the 7+% rates. Sales are slower than they were a few years ago. When was the last time the developer offered discounts on inventory? Well, look at Dabney and Lake Denham. Finally, if you are not satisfied with your agent, ask for a new one. We went through an issue with our first agent. We asked for a replacement and the difference was night and day.
Since 2007 the developer has Always offered discounts on inventory in every village, to close out the village, especially when next village is really to release. Can’t speak for prior to “07” but I am sure some posters who have been here longer can verify. First 3 homes we bought here was on discounts, because build was complete.

As far as build lots in Richmond, we were as low as #5 and as high as #64 on the list, for the first 15 tries. Then 6 more lots after we bought a lot. The only homes that didn’t have multiple names were some of the last PVs , and few interior spec homes.

Were you here when the village next to LSL and the lake? All Those sites went in minutes. Richmond came in second or third for quickest selling village. Rates were between 5.75 and 6.25 for Richmond.

You forgot to add 57 pending verandas, and 30 new verandas listed, 6 have discounted listed prices.
