As prior posts suggest, look at resales and talk to some good VLS and/or MLS realtors. If a co,urt, yard villa meets your needs, there's your fence. If you want new construction, what we did at the time was drive around ourselves where the new construction was taking place. When they're about 80% completed and before they hit the VLS listings, you can tell the model, color, orientation, etc. We found the home we liked and tipped off the realtor that we wanted it ASAP.
It came on the market in the next couple days and , bingo, we got it. Easy sale for the realtor too!
Be your own best advocate in this and do the work, don't leave it to the realtors.
