For some reason now they are not building them as specs, not because there is no demand for them, probably because they require a larger lot and because of that footprint the bonds are higher but whatever the reason is they are not building them and it's not because of lack of demand. Enough said on my end.

Exactly...
We wanted a 4 BR, 3BA home when we were looking (January, 2021). Very few were available, and those that were available, were getting premiums.
So we "settled" for a 3/2 with an extended 2 car + golf cart garage. It had plenty of upgrades (no carpet, epoxied garage floor, water softener, stained driveway/lanai, custom closets). We got it at a great price, just before the "Covid Mania" hit, and prices went crazy...
Since we're not yet full time, it works for now.
But in the next year or so (I'm fully retiring at the end of the year), if we still feel the need (after spending most of the year in TV), we'll consider upgrading...
Until then, we have a very nice home an a wonderful Village, with some wonderful neighbors...
